Instead of using a latch and the Arduino's PWM pins, we have a \u003cb\u003efully-dedicated PWM driver chip \u003c\/b\u003eonboard. This chip handles all the motor and speed controls over I2C.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince the FeatherWing only uses the I2C (SDA \u0026amp; SCL pins), it works with any and all Feathers- ATmega32u4, ATSAM M0 or ESP8266-based. You can stack it with any other FeatherWing or with itself (just make sure you have each wing with a unique I2C address) \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.pimoroni.com\/search?type=product\u0026amp;q=feather\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eCheck out our range of Feather boards here.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMotor FeatherWing Specs\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 full H-Bridges: the TB6612 chipset provides \u003cstrong\u003e1.2A per bridge\u003c\/strong\u003e (3A peak) with thermal shutdown protection, internal kickback protection diodes.
