Other motor controllers

Sparkfun has released its version of the DC motor driver based on the famous TB6612FNG circuit, and the result is appealing: you can control 2 DC motors separately or simultaneously in one of 4 function modes!

A new and improved version of the Easy Driver board, the Big Easy Driver by SparkFun can drive bipolar stepper motors at up to 2 amps per phase.

This dual motor driver from Pololu is based on Freescale’s MC33926 full H-bridge. It has a 5 – 28V operating range and can deliver almost 3A continuously (5A peak) to each of its two motor channels. The dual motor driver works with 3 – 5V logic levels, supports up to 20kHz PWM and has many protections.

Version 2.0 of the Adafruit Motor/Stepper/Servo Shield for Arduino Kit

Here is an improved version of the motor driver shield Ardumoto. Combined with an Arduino board, the Monster Moto becomes a reliable and powerful control platform for autonomous mobile robots.

The Ardumoto Shield is an easy-to-use dual motor controller for Arduino board. Combined with an Arduino board, the Ardumoto makes a fantastic controller platform for small mobile autonomous robots.

Simple motor controller PCB to control two 2A motors

This tiny dual motor driver from Pololu carries a TI DRV8833 dual H-bridge. Supplyied with a 2.7 - 10.8 V voltage, it can deliver 1.2A (2A peak) to two DC motors. It integrates protections against reverse-voltage, under-voltage, over-current, and over-temperature.

If you’re a fan of robotics, embedded electronics and the Internet of Things, the Dual H-Bridge SparkFun Block for Intel® Edison was made for you! It allows you to control 2 brushed DC motors at currents of up to 1 A each.

Are you sure you’re prepared for the full power of the T’Rex? This Arduino-compatible RS036 controller might not look like the Jurassic predator, but it nonetheless offers some quite magnificent possibilities: for example controlling 2 motors at once!

A rich and useful board to use on your Rover5 based contraptions.

The Servo Controller Mini Maestro 12-Channel allows you to drive your servos using one of three interfaces: USB, serial TTL, and embedded scripts. It provides fine-grained speed and acceleration control thanks to its very high resolution (0.25µs).
