The ZeroBorg is our new add on board for controlling motors using the incredible $5 computer the Raspberry Pi Zero. The ZeroBorg with a Pi Zero and.. The ZeroBorg is our add on board for controlling motors using the Raspberry Pi Zero. It's small size means it fits neatly below a Raspberry Pi Zero and opens up endless possibilities for tiny robot designs.
The ZeroBorg can control up to 4 motors independently and is stackable via I2C, so you can keep adding ZeroBorgs (and our other compatible I2C boards) to control additional motors!
ZeroBorg is fully customisable, so you can match your ZeroBorg to your project you're making! The following optional add-ons are compatible with the ZeroBorg:
- A 5V DC/DC regulator to power the Pi as well as the motors,
- An infrared sensor to control the motors via an infrared remote control,
- A 9V battery clip to power the Pi and the motors.
The ZeroBorg "Basic" has none of the above optional add-ons, it is the ZeroBorg Motor Controller Board only. We also provide the ZeroBorg with all the additional components soldered so you can plug in your robot and go!
