2 * DC Motor 2V-6V - connnect to CH1 & CH2 Output connecter.
Seeeduino Lite - connect Seeeduino's Grove I2C Interface to Mini Motor Driver's Grove
Interface.
As shown below:

The Grove - Mini I2C Motor Driver can control motor which is based on the chip DRV8830.
The DRV8830 isn’t just a dual motor driver, it is a dual H-bridge. An h-bridge is basically a
specific setup of transistors that allow you to switch direction of current. You can use your
Arduino to make them spin at any speed. Because the module has 2 H-bridges, you can not only
make a robot go forwards and backwards, but also turn around by having each wheel spin in a
different direction.
Connect Seeeduino to computer use a micro USB cable.
Now, let's use the Grove - Mini I2C Motor Driver to control two DC motors rotating in the
positive or opposite direction.
The below is an example program to be used with an Arduino. The code for this is very basic,
but you can also change it up and do it your own way.

the SparkFun MiniMoto board, which uses the TI DRV8830 IC for I2C
low-voltage DC motor control.
This code is beerware; if you use it, please buy me (or any other
SparkFun employee) a cold beverage next time you run into one of
us at the local.
