DC Motor Driver v1.1

thingiverse

Version 1.1 of NBitWonder's DC Motor Driver project offers a dual-channel motor for robotics and hobbyist projects. The hand-solderable design features no under-chip pads, fitting entirely on a single-sided PCB to simplify homebrew fabrication. With parts costing approximately $10 in quantity 1 (without volume discounts), the board is budget-friendly. Originally designed for Marc Raiser's Tank project, design files are available here. However, for up-to-date documentation and technical data, visit the project's GitHub repository. The NBitWonder community collaborated on this project, which showcases their work and other projects at nbitwonder.com. To use the project, download gerber files from the .zip and submit them to a PCB service or fabricate at home using methods like those demonstrated in this Instructables tutorial. Once constructed, populate with parts according to the provided parts list, considering important soldering tips outlined in step 3. Upon testing, ensure the board operates without issues before flashing the microcontroller firmware using MPLAB and Microchip programmers like the PICKit 2 or 3.
