Product description: General Driver board - multifunctional robot controller - ESP32 - WiFi, Bluetooth, ESP-NOW - Waveshare 23730
The General Driver board is a multifunctional driver based on the ESP32-WROOM-32 module, which offers a wide range of possibilities and allows you to expand the project with additional peripheral devices. It is primarily intended for building robots , it works with platforms such as Raspberry Pi and Jetson Nano. It allows you to control DC motors with and without encoders, servos. It also has an output for connecting an OLED display , WiFi antenna or Lidar sensor. What's more, the manufacturer also equipped the module with IMU sensors - a 3-axis accelerometer, a 3-axis magnetometer with temperature measurement and a 3-axis gyroscope.
The module is compatible with Raspberry Pi and Jetson Nano.
