Pimoroni Big Motor + Encoder Module for Yukon

Drive a brushed DC motor with encoder feedback at up to 8 A continuous from your Pimoroni Yukon, using a smart gate driver and external FET H bridge. Compact power delivery across 5 to 17 V with sensor telemetry and sturdy 5 mm screw terminals.

DRV8706H smart gate driver; external H bridge FETs; 8 A continuous 12 A peak; 5 to 17 V input; current temperature and fault sensing; encoder header footprint for 0.1 inch connector left unpopulated; fully assembled; 24 x 20 x 15.3 mm; Yukon compatible.

Use two modules with a Dagu Wild Thumper chassis for a rugged remote controlled rover. Control via RP2040 PWM or PIO. PWM supports up to four modules on non overlapping PWM slots. PIO enables all six slots. Each encoder consumes one PIO state machine.

Motors are sold separately. Software examples and a complete rover project are available for MicroPython.
