With the release of the new Raspberry Pi Zero W, we thought we would hack together a robot as it could take advantage of the small size of the Pi and the blueto.. ThunderBorg is a powerful dual motor control board for making awesome robots with your Raspberry Pi. The ThunderBorg is used in our MonsterBorg robot kit.
This version has the optional ThunderBorg Lid which comes with:
- A second super bright LED which can be independently controlled
- 9V style connector for either AA battery packs or 9V batteries
- Convenient power switch to disconnect the batteries
- Enough room to sit a 10x AA battery pack
- Pre-soldered directly onto the ThunderBorg by us.
All ThunderBorg versions include:
- Control BIG or small motors.
- On-board 5V regulator powers the Raspberry Pi
- Runs from any battery pack or power supply from 7V to 35V
- Proper 5A output per motor connection
- Speed control forwards and reverse
- On-board voltage monitoring for attached batteries
- Mounts directly onto most Raspberry Pi models
- Super bright LED capable of over 16 million colours
- Plug in more boards to control up to 200 motors!
- Controls 4, 5 or 6 wire stepper motors
We also have ThunderBorg without the optional lid here.

* Raspberry Pi 4 - Model B compatibility:
We have tested ThunderBorg with the Pi 4 and it works fine, however the 5V supply does not fully meet the Pi 4's 2.5A specification.
