SparkFun Qwiic Motor Driver Kit

The SparkFun Qwiic Motor Driver Kit gives you the basic parts needed to get up and running quickly with a motor driven project. Along with the included Qwiic Motor Driver is a 100mm Qwiic cable, a pair of hobby gearmotors, and a LiPo battery as a power supply.

The SparkFun Qwiic Motor Driver boasts 4245 PSOC and 2-channel motor ports, the SparkFun Qwiic Motor Driver is designed to communicate over I²C to make setting up your next robotic project as fast and easy as possible! Utilizing our handy Qwiic system and screw terminals for motor and power hook-up, no soldering is required to connect it to the rest of your system.

With 1.2A steady state drive per channel (1.5A peak) and 127 levels of DC drive strength, this little Qwiic board is perfect for your small DC motor driver needs. Since the Qwiic Motor Driver is a 3.3V logic device, you'll need to use a logic level converter to interface to 5V.

The I²C address of the Qwiic Motor Driver is 0x5D and is jumper selectable to 0x58, 0x59, 0x5A, 0x5B, ... 0x63.

Note: With a wide variety of Qwiic enabled microcontroller boards available we decided not to include one so you could choose the one that fits best with your current project needs. Check the Hookup Accessories below for some suggestions.

The SparkFun Qwiic Connect System is an ecosystem of I²C sensors, actuators, shields and cables that make prototyping faster and less prone to error. All Qwiic-enabled boards use a common 1mm pitch, 4-pin JST connector. This reduces the amount of required PCB space, and polarized connections mean you can’t hook it up wrong.
