Motor SHIM for Pico

Motor SHIM for Pico

The Motor SHIM for Pico is a compact motor driver that solders directly to the back of your Raspberry Pi Pico, giving you control of two micro metal gearmotors for building small robots and motorised projects. With a DRV8833 dual H-bridge driver, it handles bidirectional motor control with minimal space.

The board includes a user button for triggering actions and a Qw/ST (Qwiic/STEMMA QT) connector for easy expansion with I2C sensors and accessories.

  • Dual Motor Control – Drive 2 micro metal gearmotors independently
  • DRV8833 Driver – Dual H-bridge for bidirectional control
  • SHIM Form Factor – Solders to back of Pico, saves space
  • JST-ZH Connectors – Easy motor connection with 2-pin sockets
  • User Button – Built-in button for triggering actions
  • Qw/ST Connector – I2C expansion for sensors and accessories

Specifications

  • Motor Driver – DRV8833 dual H-bridge
  • Motor Outputs – 2× JST-ZH (2-pin)
  • Dimensions – ~26 × 21 × 5mm

Software Support

  • MicroPython library
  • CircuitPython library
  • C++ SDK examples

Ideal For

  • Tiny robot builds
  • Motorised Pico projects
  • Line-following robots
  • Learning motor control
