DFRobot DFR0502 Gravity:IO Expansion & Motor Driver Shield

DFrobot DFR0502 Gravity:IO Expansion and Motor Driver Shield is a development board that combines IO expansion and DC motor driver shields. This expansion board is designed for Arduino boards and integrates TB6612FNG dual channel motor driver IC. The IO expansion board offers 14 digital interfaces and six analog interfaces. The TB6612FNG Driver IC supports PWM speed control and up to 3.2A peak current.

The DFR0502 DFrobot Gravity: IO Expansion and Motor Driver Sheild features a gravity sensor interface, an integrated XBee socket, and a UART port for communication to external devices. This expansion board is compatible with the majority of micro DC motors available. The module is available in 68.5mm x 53.3mm board size. This shield is suitable for intelligent robot controls.
