Adafruit DC & Stepper Motor HAT for Raspberry Pi - Mini Kit

Drive up to 4 DC motors or 2 stepper motors from your Raspberry Pi with this motor driver HAT. Uses TB6612 MOSFET drivers with 1.2A per channel capacity and a dedicated PWM chip, requiring only two I2C pins for control.

Stackable design allows chaining multiple HATs for controlling even more motors—up to 32 HATs on a single Pi.

Key Features

• 4 DC Motors or 2 Steppers – Flexible motor configuration
• TB6612 Drivers – 1.2A per channel with 3A peak

• Multiple Stepper Modes – Single coil, double coil, interleaved, micro-stepping
• I2C Control – Uses only SDA and SCL pins
• Stackable – Chain up to 32 HATs
• Protection Built-in – Polarity protection, flyback diodes, thermal shutdown
