Quick Overview
The DIYables DRV8833 Dual Motor Driver Module is a compact and powerful motor controller board featuring dual H-bridges rated up to 1.5A per channel. This presoldered module measures just 18.5mm x 16mm with header pins already installed for simple, stable wiring and fast prototyping. Capable of driving two DC motors independently or one 4-wire bipolar stepper motor, it operates from 3V to 10V input making it ideal for battery-powered robotics projects with Arduino, ESP32, ESP8266, and Raspberry Pi platforms.
This 5-pack driver board includes comprehensive built-in safety protections: overcurrent protection, short circuit protection, undervoltage lockout, thermal shutdown, and a low-power sleep mode for energy efficiency. The wide voltage compatibility from 3V to 10V makes it perfect for various power sources from batteries to regulated supplies. The compact presoldered design eliminates soldering hassles and ensures reliable connections for your projects.
Perfect for DIY robotics, smart car projects, robot vehicles, automation systems, and any application requiring precise DC motor or stepper motor control. The dual channel configuration allows independent control of two motors with PWM speed control and direction switching. Ideal for makers and hobbyists working with Arduino, ESP32, ESP8266, Raspberry Pi, and other microcontroller platforms.
