Adafruit DRV8871 DC Motor Driver Breakout Board - 3.6A Max

The Adafruit DRV8871 motor driver breakout board is designed for robotics and mechatronics projects. It supports motors with a voltage range of 6.5V to 45V and includes features such as current limiting, auto PWM control, undervoltage lockout, overcurrent protection, and thermal shutdown. The board can handle up to 3.6A of peak current and allows simple motor control via PWM inputs. It includes an adjustable current limit through an external resistor. The board is fully assembled and tested, requiring minimal soldering.
