Motor Shield for Raspberry Pi

A motor controller HAT for Raspberry Pi designed to make robot building easy. Featuring the reliable L293D dual H-bridge driver, it can control up to 4 DC motors or 2 stepper motors with built-in connections for IR line sensors and ultrasonic distance sensors.

The onboard LED arrow indicators show motor direction for easy debugging, while the GPIO stacking header passes through all pins for additional add-ons.
