Motor driver for Raspberry Pi Pico

The supply is then controlled by an on/off power switch to the board and there is also a green LED to indicate when the board has power. The board then produces a regulated 3.3V supply which is fed into the 3 V and GND connections to power the connected Pico. This removes the need to power the Pico separately. The 3 V and GND pins are also broken out on the header, which means external devices can also be powered. To use the robotics board, the Pico should be firmly inserted into the dual row pin socket on the board. Ensure the Pico is inserted with the USB connector at the same end as the power connectors on the robotics board. This will allow access to all of the board functions and each pin is broken.

Features:

• A compact yet feature-packed board designed to sit at the heart of your Raspberry Pi Pico robot buggy projects.
• The board can drive 2 motors simultaneously with full forward, reverse, and stop control.
• It features the DRV8833 motor driver IC, which has built-in short circuit, over current and thermal protection.
• This board also features an on/off switch and power status LED.
• Power the board via a terminal block style connector.
• The 3V and GND pins are also broken out, allowing external devices to be powered.
• Code it with MicroPython or via an editor such as the Thonny editor.
