These compact (0.6″ × 0.8″) boards support motor supply voltages from 1.8 V to 22 V and can deliver continuous output currents up to 1.6 A per motor. Multiple Motoron controllers can be configured to work on a single I²C or serial bus, allowing independent control of many motors. Unlike most of our motor drivers, the Motoron does not require any PWM outputs or timers on your \u003ca href=\"\/nl\/collections\/adafruit-development-boards\"\u003emicrocontroller\u003c\/a\u003e. Instead, only a single I²C or UART interface is needed regardless of how many Motorons you connect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese Motoron controllers are available in several versions with
