Using the ESP12E Motor Shield

Using the ESP12E Motor Shield

The ESP12E Motor Shield is an expansion board that allows an Amica ESP8266 NodeMCU (V2) to drive two DC motors or one stepper motor. We have seen how to drive a DC motor using an H-bridge which can require a lot of wiring when using the simple IC. For an embedded...

Using the Arduino Motor Shield

The official Arduino Motor Shield is an expansion board for the Arduino UNO and Mega microcontrollers for DC and stepper motor control. We have seen how to drive a DC motor using an H-bridge which can require a lot of wiring when using the IC simply. For an embedded...

Control several Motors with Raspberry Pi and the MotorHAT

To control a motor, whether stepping or direct current, with a Raspberry Pi, it is necessary to add an integrated circuit like an H-bridge. To simplify the assemblies, there are shields like for Arduino , called HAT (hat) at Raspberry. We will see how to communicate...

Control several motors with Motor Shield V2 and Arduino

The Motor Shield V2 is an expansion board for microcontrollers Arduino UNO and Mega to control DC and stepper motors. For motor control, it is possible to use integrated circuits directly but their use requires significant wiring can quickly become unmanageable. To...
