Alternatively, the board can be used to power a stepper motor. The board also features the DRV8833 motor driver IC, which has built-in short circuit, over current and thermal protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe board also features 4 external connections to GPIO pins and a 3V and GND supply from the Pico. This allows for additional IO options for your buggy builds that can be read or controlled by the Pico. There is also an on\/off switch and power status LED. See at a glance if the board is powered up and save your batteries when your project is not in use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo use the motor driver board, the Pico should have a soldered pin header and be inserted firmly into the connector. The board also produces a regulated 3V supply that is fed into the 40-way connector to power the Pico, removing the need to power the Pico directly. The motor driver board is powered via a USB style connector.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKitronik has developed a micro-python module and sample code to support the use of the Motor Driver board with the Pico.
