All about the product
Motor 2040 is a separate motor controller designed to control DC motors with encoder devices. The module is based on Raspberry Pi RP2040, so there is no need to use additional boards with a microcontroller. The controller can control four DC motors with a supply voltage ranging from 2.7 V to 10 V, and a current consumption of 0.5 A. The board also features an addressable RGB Neopixel LED, status LEDs for each motor, boot and reset buttons, and a Qwiic/STEMMA QT connector. The Motor 2040 is powered via a Type C USB connector.
Key features:
- Raspberry Pi RP2040 microcontroller - ARM Cortex M0+ Dual Core 133 MHz with 264 KB SRAM
- 2 MB QSPI Flash with XiP support
- Two H-bridge controllers (DRV8833)
- 4 JST-SH 6-pin connectors for connecting motors
- Supports a wide range of motor and logic voltage (from 2.7 V to 10 V)
- Built-in 3.3 V voltage regulator with an input voltage of up to 13.2 V (maximum regulator current efficiency is 150 mA)
- Voltage, current measurement, and error detection
- Current limit of 0.5 A per motor
- Status LED for each motor
- Addressable LED / Neopixel LED
- Reset and boot button
- Type C USB connector for programming and power (max. 3 A)
- Qwiic/STEMMA QT connector for rapid prototyping
- Fully assembled
