This circuit uses the DRV8833 and allows up to 2 DC motors or 1 stepper motor to be controlled by a microprocessor such as the Arduino Uno.
This is useful as a microcontroller cannot, on its own, output enough power to drive most motors. Using this board you can control motors with digital outputs (two per motor) from your microcontroller while powering it separately from a suitable power source.
The motor driver operates off a wide power supply (2.7-10.8V) and can provide up to 1.5A per output or 3A if the motor is connected to both outputs in parallel. Depending upon the state of the two control lines, the motor can be controlled to coast, reverse, go forward & brake.
The board can easily be connected to a microcontroller and will operate at 3V or 5V.
