Adafruit DC & Stepper Motor Bonnet for Raspberry Pi: Compact Motion Control Add-On for Robotics

The Adafruit DC & Stepper Motor Bonnet for Raspberry Pi is a fully assembled, plug-and-play add-on designed to make motor control easy for your robotics and motion projects. Based on the popular DC & Stepper Motor HAT, this Bonnet version is smaller, more compact, and designed for seamless use with any Raspberry Pi with a 2x20 GPIO header. With onboard TB6612 MOSFET drivers, it can control up to 4 DC motors or 2 stepper motors, offering precise PWM speed and direction control through I2C—using only two pins (SDA & SCL).

Ideal for makers, students, and engineers, this Bonnet requires no soldering and comes pre-assembled with terminal blocks and a 2x20 header. It supports stacking via PHAT Stackers, enabling you to connect up to 32 Motor Bonnets for massive projects controlling up to 128 DC motors or 64 steppers. With built-in polarity protection, thermal shutdown safety, and flyback diodes, it ensures reliable and safe operation for all your motion-based applications.

Key Features of Adafruit DC & Stepper Motor Bonnet

  • Compact & Fully Assembled: Ready-to-use motor controller add-on for Raspberry Pi—no soldering required.
  • Powerful TB6612 MOSFET Drivers: Provides 1.2A per channel continuous (3A peak for 20ms) with built-in protection.
  • Versatile Motor Support: Drives up to 4 bi-directional DC motors (8-bit speed control) or 2 stepper motors (unipolar or bipolar).
  • Advanced Stepper Modes: Supports single coil, double coil, interleaved, and micro-stepping.
  • Dedicated PWM Controller: Offloads timing from Raspberry Pi for smooth and jitter-free motor control.
  • I2C Interface: Uses only SDA & SCL pins, leaving other GPIO free and compatible with other I2C devices.
  • Stackable Design: With PHAT Stacker, stack up to 32 Bonnets for large-scale robotics projects.
  • Wide Motor Voltage Range: Supports 4.5VDC to 13.5VDC motor supply, with polarity-protected external power input (5–12VDC recommended).
  • Raspberry Pi Compatibility: Works best with Pi Zero, A+, B+, Pi 2, 3, 4, 5; usable with Pi A/B using 2x13 stacking header.
  • Python Library Support: Easy-to-use Adafruit Python library with examples for quick setup.
  • Included: Pre-assembled Bonnet with 2x20 header and terminal blocks.
