Motor:bit is a motor driving board based on micro:bit. It has integrated a TB6612 motor driving chip, which is used to drive two motors with a maximum 1.2A DC single channel current.
It has also integrated 12 GVS ports(for connecting the OCTOPUS series of electric bricks) and 1 IIC communication port. These ports allow you to extend with various sensors and electric modules. On the board, P3-P7 and P9-P10 are IO ports for directly driving 3.3V devices; P13-P16 and P19-P20(IIC port) support 3.3V/5V voltage switches. Sliding the voltage switch onboard makes it available to drive 3.3V or 5V devices.
Besides this, you can play music with the buzzer on motor:bit. The Motor:bit is totally designed for DIYers, you can use it to create your own smart car or more funny projects.
