The Motoron M3H256 is a triple motor controller for Raspberry Pi, providing independent bidirectional control of three brushed DC motors via I2C. With support for 4.5V to 48V and 2A continuous per channel, it's ideal for omni-wheel robots and multi-motor projects.

This bare-board version ships without connectors for custom installations. Features include reverse-voltage protection, configurable acceleration profiles, and command timeout for safety.

Key Features

  • Triple Motor Channels – Independent control of 3 DC motors
  • Wide Voltage Range – 4.5V to 48V motor supply
  • 2A Continuous / 6.4A Peak – Per channel current capacity
  • I2C Interface – Up to 400kHz communication
  • Command Timeout – Motors stop if Pi communication fails
  • Configurable Acceleration – Smooth motor ramping
  • Reverse Voltage Protection – Protects down to -40V
  • Voltage Monitoring – Read motor supply voltage
  • Status LEDs – Visual feedback for motor direction

Specifications

  • Motor Channels – 3 (independent, bidirectional)
  • Motor Voltage – 4.5V to 48V
  • Logic Voltage – 2.8V to 5.5V
  • Continuous Current – 2A per channel
  • Peak Current – 6.4A per channel (<1 second)
  • Interface – I2C (400kHz)
  • PWM Frequencies – 1kHz to 80kHz (8 options)
