Motor Drivers Products — Oct 2018 — Ardu_Serie#56

I spent about 50 US dollars. I’ve bought 9 products. Basically to drive motors.
Let’s see inside piece by piece:

TB6612FNG

TB6612FNG is a driver IC for DC motor with output transistor in LD MOS structure with low ON-resistor. Two input signals, IN1 and IN2, can choose one of four modes such as CW, CCW, short brake, and stop mode.

L9110S

The L9110S 2-Channel motor driver module is a compact board that can be used to drive small robots. This module has two independent motor driver chips which can each drive up to 800mA of continuous current. The boards can be operated from 2.5V to 12V enabling this module to be used with both 3.3V and 5V microcontrollers. This module can also be used to drive a single four-line two-phase stepper motor. One hole makes this board easy to mount onto your robot or other projects. Please check this post about L9110S drive.

ULN2003 driver

The low cost and small size make the 28BYJ-48 an ideal option for small robotic applications and an excellent introduction to stepper motor control with Arduino. This is the drive you’ll need!

L298N H-bridge

L298N H-bridge IC that can allow you to control the speed and direction of two DC motors, or control one bipolar stepper

Display Oled white 128x32 Pixel 0.91' 4 Pins I2C — Because the display makes its own light, no backlight is required. This reduces the power required to run the OLED and is why the display has such high contrast.

TM1638 module

A device with multiple inputs, output, and display functionality available at a very reasonable price, and perfect for use with an Arduino board.

PCF8574 Remote 8-Bit IO Expander

The device features an 8-bit quasi-bidirectional I/O port (P0–P7), including latched outputs with high current drive capability for directly driving LEDs. Each quasi-bidirectional I/O can be used as an input or output without the use of a data-direction control signal. At power on, the I/Os are high. In this mode, only a current source to VCC is active.

TSL2561

The TSL2560 and TSL2561 are a light-to-digital converter that transforms light intensity to a digital signal output capable of direct I²C (TSL2561) or SMBus (TSL2560) interface. The device combines one broadband photodiode (visible plus infrared) and one infrared-responding photodiode on a single CMOS integrated circuit capable of providing a near-photopic response over an effective 20-bit dynamic range (16-bit resolution).

4067 Multiplexer 16 channels

This is a breakout board for the very handy 16-Channel Analog/Digital Multiplexer/Demultiplexer CD74HC4067. This chip is like a rotary switch — it internally routes the common pin. It works with both digital and analog signals (the voltage can’t be higher than VCC), and the connections function in either direction. To control it, connect 4 digital outputs to the chip’s address select pins (S0-S3), and send it the binary address of the channel you want (see the datasheet for details). This allows you to connect up to 16 sensors to your system using only 5 pins!

That’s it!

Thank you!
