This product works great, and has good documentation on a Github website. I was able to wire up my motors and modify the Python library in an afternoon.I like the fact it provide 4 motor controls, not just two like other boards. The other cool feature I wasn't aware of was the LEDs on the board. There are four sets of LEDs that form an arrow in the four different directions - forward, back, left, right. This makes for a cool exercise for my code club students.

This is the best hat i have found to raspberry pi and motors. It supports a large configuration of motor setups and functions great. It is also well documented.

One review says the hat doesn't come with standoffs so I bought a kit for stand offs. When they both came, the hat DID have standoffs. So shout out to that dude for making me buy unnecessary parts.This hat works well, the code on their github is intuitive and more than sufficient for documentation, AND THE HAT CAME WITH STAND OFFS, YOU DONT HAVE TO BUY YOUR OWN.10/10 solid buy.

The code provided on the Github page does not compile. There are open issues on the Github page which have been active for over a year without resolution. The only one that was actually resolved is when a user did it for them.Avoid this unless you are comfortable with debugging someone else's code.Update: So they modified their code and it compiles now. However, after doing some testing with a multi-meter, the board is passing through less than half of the input voltage. If you have 6v motors, you need to give the board 12v for the motors to run...and then it gets hot.Neat idea with the LED's, but overall avoid this. It's nowhere near worth the hassle and frustration. Even if they were passing them out for free I wouldn't want one.

It's not obvious until you read the code - it consumes 3 GPIO per each of the 4 motors it can drive. Kind of stinks in that regard it should at least be clear in the description.

I received an e-mail from the seller the same day as I ordered the Motorshield. It was a link for the software, so i was able to get my Raspberry Pi ready for it before it came in the mail. one problem is it cannot power the Raspberry Pi like some of the other motor shields out there. it requires two power supplies to operate my robot. no big deal. I like this one because it has arrows on the board that illuminate. This enables the testing of programs without the motors

The board comes with zero documentation. None, nada, zilch. The only way to use it is to start with the pin out of the L293DD (not L293D!), find the schematic for the board, trace the pin mappings from the L293DD to physical GPIO pins, then map the physical pins to the "logical" GPIO pin number used in WiringPi. If you do this carefully, you will have a reversible motor.Note: this board does not support pulse width modulation (PWM) for speed control.

Hooked mine up to a RPi 3A and it works a treat. I think the banks of LEDS are a waste of time, probably better to do away with those and provide a means of powering the pi from the board itself instead of them.Other than that, very pleased so far.

Wenn man vier Motoren an zwei H-Brücken schaltet, einen IR-Sensor und zwei Ultraschall-Sensoren an die GPIO-Pins anzuschließen versucht, merkt man schnell, dass die Anzahl der GPIO-Pins begrenzt ist!Mit dem Motorshield wird diesem Problem Abhilfe geschaffen und man kann diese sechs Komponenten mit dem Raspberry Pi verbinden und hat noch alle GPIO-Pins zur Verfügung.Man erhält vom Hersteller fertige Python Skripte, wodurch man sofort loslegen kann.Ich bin begeistert von diesem Motorschield!

Lieferung kam schnell und ordentlich verpackt. Ich hatte noch nicht die Gelegenheit die Platine zu verbauen und zu testen, aber sie macht optisch einen guten Eindruck und wurde vollständig (wie beschrieben) geliefert. Auf der Herstellerseite gibt's eine Wikiseite zum Produkt und auf Github gut dokumentierten Beispielcode.
