Gravity: TB6612FNG IO Expansion with Motor Driver Board

SKU: DFR0502

Gravity IO Expansion Shield with Motor Driver is designed for Arduino Boards. It combines IO Expansion Shield and DC Motor Driver Shield, plus Gravity sensor interface and TB6612FNG dual motor driver (drives 2x1.2A DC motors with PWM speed control, 1.2A continuous/3.2A peak current). It also has XBee socket, I2C interface and UART port. Compatible with most micro DC motors, it’s a convenient, cost-effective choice for small intelligent robot controls.
