Each breakout chip contains two full H-bridges (four half H-bridges). That means you can drive four solenoids, two DC motors bi-directionally, or one stepper motor. Just make sure they're good for 1.2 Amp or less of current, since that's the limit of this chip. They do handle a peak of 3A but that's just for a short amount of time. What we like most about this particular driver is that it comes with built in kick-back diodes internally so you don't have to worry about the inductive kick damaging your project or driver!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere's two digital inputs per H-bridge (one for each half of the bridge) as well as a PWM input per driver so you can control motor speed. Runs at 2.7V-5V logic. The motor voltage is separate from the logic voltage. Good for motor voltages from 4.5V up to 13.5V! This wont work well for 3V motors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComes as one assembled and tested breakout plus a small strip of header. You'll need to do some light soldering to attach the header onto the breakout PCB. Arduino, motors, and power supply not included. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/learn.adafruit.com\/adafruit-tb6612-h-bridge-dc-stepper-motor-driver-breakout\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eCheck out the handy tutorial on assembly and wiring!\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTECHNICAL DETAILS\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCurrent Limit: 1.2A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 27mm x 19mm x 3mm \/ 1.1\" x 0.7\" x 0.1\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 1.8g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/learn.adafruit.com\/adafruit-tb6612-h-bridge-dc-stepper-motor-driver-breakout\/downloads\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eDatasheets, EagleCAD PCB files, and Fritzing object available in the product tutorial\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Adafruit","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":3225743105,"sku":"ADA2448","price":7.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0174\/1800\/products\/2448-00_1.jpg?v=1648807238","url":"https:\/\/shop.pimoroni.com\/en-eu\/products\/adafruit-tb6612-1-2a-dc-stepper-motor-driver-breakout-board","provider":"Pimoroni Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
