1. Overview
The Motoron motor controllers are a family of general-purpose modules designed to control brushed
DC motors. The Motoron receives commands via I²C, so only two I/O lines are needed regardless of
how many Motorons you connect. The Motoron modules are designed to plug into either a Raspberry
Pi or an Arduino, and multiple Motoron controllers can be stacked on top of each other, allowing
independent control of many motors.
