Motoron M3H550 Triple Motor Controller Kit for Raspberry Pi

Description: The Motoron M3H550 Triple Motor Controller makes it easy to control DC motors from a Raspberry Pi (Model B+ or newer) through an I²C interface. Each module can independently control up to three motors, and multiple Motoron boards can be stacked on top of the same Raspberry Pi for projects that need to control even more motors. The M3H550 supports motor supply voltages from 1.8 V to 22 V and can deliver continuous output currents up to 1.7 A per motor. This version ships with a variety of header pin and terminal block options included but not soldered in.

• Three motor control channels allow for independent control of up to three bidirectional brushed DC motors per Motoron
• Wide motor supply voltage range: 1.8 V to 22 V (absolute maximum)
• Maximum output current per motor: 1.7 A continuous, 5 A peak for <1 second
• Reverse-voltage protection on motor power supply (down to −20 V)
• Logic voltage range: 3.0 V to 4.9 V (5V nominal not recommended)
• Control interface: I²C
• I²C clock speed: up to 400 kHz
• Optional cyclic redundancy checking (CRC)
• Configurable motion parameters:
  • Max acceleration/deceleration forward/reverse
  • Starting speed forward/reverse
  • Direction change delay forward/reverse
• PWM frequency: eight options available from 1 kHz to 80 kHz
• Command timeout feature stops motors if the Raspberry Pi stops communicating
• Configurable automatic error response
• Motor power supply (VIN) voltage measurement
• Optional pins make it easy to power the Raspberry Pi from reverse-protected motor power through an external regulator (not included)
• Two status LEDs
• Motor direction indicator LEDs
• Motoron Python library simplifies using the Motoron with Python or MicroPython
• Comprehensive user’s guide
