Description

Grove - I2C Motor DriverThe Grove I2C Motor Driver V1. 3 (latest version) can directly control Stepper Motor or DC Motor. Its heart is a dual channel H bridge driver chipL298Nthat can handle current up to 2A per channel, controlled by an Atmel ATmega8L which handles the I2C communication with platforms such as Arduino. Both motors can be driven simultaneously while set to a different speed and direction. It can power two brushed DC motors or one 4 wire two phase stepper

The Grove - I2C Motor Driver V1.3 (latest version) can directly control Stepper Motor or DC Motor. Its heart is a dual channel H-bridge driver chip(L298N)that can handle current up to 2A per channel, controlled by an Atmel ATmega8L which handles the I2C communication with platforms such as Arduino. Both motors can be driven simultaneously while set to a different speed and direction. It can power two brushed DC motors or one 4-wire two-phase stepper motor. It requires a 6V to 15V power supply to power the motor and has an onboard 5V voltage regulator which can power the I2C bus and the Arduino(selectable by jumper). All driver lines are protected by diodes from back-EMF.

Contrast to the Grove - I2C motor driver V1.2, the V1.3 enables users to control the stepper motor more easily. You do not need to control the steppers all the time anymore, simply send a command to I2C motor driver V1.3 to drive a stepper motor, and it will act as your command, which would save your Arduino resource and simplify your code.

Specifications

Max Output Current per channel 0.5 A
Maximum Total current 1.0 A
Input/output voltage on I2C bus 5 V
Communication protocol I2C /

[1] NOTE: Input voltage on screw terminals is regulated to 5v and connected to I2C +5v via a jumper (J4). Remove jumper if both external power via the screw terminals and power via the I2C header is used. Use jumper if 5v should be supplied to the I2C bus.

Application Ideas

This motor driver can be used to drive any brushed electronic motor as long as it doesn't consume more than 2A at 5v. Two motors can be driven simultaneously while set to a different speed and direction. The speed can be set fully proportional and is controlled by the ATmega8 on the board using PWM. It is set by I2C commands sent from e.g. an Arduino. It is perfect for applications like robots, homebuilt RC cars, case fans, high power LED illumination or any other project that involves proportional load control.

Cautions

  • The board will be very hot if while operating over 1Amps. Do keep off your hands!
  • Different Arduino IDE may have difference. I use arduino-0019 and it works fine, but when i use arduino - 0022, I need to add some delay() at the end of Wire.endTransmission().

Incredible quality!!!
Color: Black/Black
We have had these for a little over three months and so far they are still working fantastically. We are amazed at the quality for the price. It makes grinding fresh salt and pepper so easy! Perfect for cooking and topping food.

Works well, just wish it was rechargeable
Color: Stainless Steel
These grinders work pretty well and are really convenient to use with one hand while cooking. The adjustable coarseness is nice and the LED light actually helps more than I expected. They seem well made and hold a good amount, just wish they were rechargeable instead of using batteries. Still happy with them overall.

More than a daily grind
Color: Purple
We are very happy so far, working very well. The grind is even and easy to adjust with a simple turn of the screw on the base of the grinder. The automatic light is a nice feature, especially as I am 66 and my eyes are not what they used to be. Once I turned the on button to face front, I'm no longer triggering a grind just by picking these up. (our last grinders trigger was on the top of the unit}. They feel well constructed and are easy to fill. My wife absolutely loves the color (purple). will update this in a couple months for durability, but for the price so far (1 month) 5 stars
