Adafruit RTK Motor Controller Board Kit for Raspberry Pi

The RTK Raspberry Pi Motor Controller Board Kit offers a budget-friendly solution for controlling motors with the Raspberry Pi through its GPIO pins. This self-assembly kit simplifies motor control with minimal coding required.

The board's design ensures effortless integration. Once the board is soldered and mounted onto your Raspberry Pi, just connect a power source and a motor to begin. It enables motor direction control by toggling a GPIO pin and supports Pulse Width Modulation for individual speed regulation.

Programming the board is straightforward, akin to switching a light on or off. Python example code is available in the tutorials, and compatibility extends to any Raspberry Pi-compatible language. For those inclined, Scratch support is offered under the add-on name “rtkmotorcon.”
