Smallest H-Bridge Driver with Easy-to-Use Library & Examples
The DriveCell module has a tiny H-Bridge chip formed by 4 transistors in the shape of an H. This allows us to control motors (direction and speed) and actuators (polarity and strength) by reversing current and adjusting the duty cycle via the input pins. These 2 input pins are typically driven in opposite polarities to control the output direction.
The box will include the DriveCell, a set of two M1.2 screws, and an individual (unsoldered) 4-pin male header. This PCB is ROHS Compliant & follows IPC-A-600 II standard. Also, please note that the DriveCell is intended to be used as a DIY maker kit. For commercial purposes, please get in touch.
Some other notes:
DriveCell is perfect for anyone curious about electronics! It comes with well-explained Arduino examples, making it easier to get started. Since DriveCell requires soldering, we recommend ensuring that soldering is done under proper adult supervision and guidance for children under 12. Please also note that the package includes small parts, like screws, so care should be taken when handling them.
To install the DriveCell library, go to 'Sketch > Include Library > Manage Libraries' - the 'Library Manager' should open up. Just type "DriveCell " and click 'Install' to download the latest version of the DriveCell library.
We are continuously updating and adding new features to this library, so make sure you're using the latest version. To quickly get familiar with this library, go to 'File > Examples > DriveCell , where you'll find multiple examples you can use and modify for your projects.
Everything you need to know about DriveCell is described here: DriveCell Tutorials
DriveCell features standard 2.54mm pitch pins which are castellated! This makes it super easy to solder with wires or drivers to actuators like our FlatFlap. An unsoldered 4-pin male header is also includes in the box!
