Product description: Motoron M2H18v18 two-channel motor driver - 30 V / 18 A - Raspberry Pi shield - assembled - Pololu 5048
Two-channel Motoron M2H18v18 motor driver designed by Pololu in the form of an overlay for Raspberry Pi minicomputers. The module has a 40-pin connector to which you can connect other Raspberry Pi caps. The product communicates with the minicomputer via the I2C interface, so only two GPIO pins are needed to start working. The shield allows you to control two motors with a supply voltage from 6.5 V to 30 V and a current of up to 18 A.
The product is compatible with the Raspberry Pi !
Before starting work, also check the user's guide prepared by the manufacturer.
