Great 4 Motor Board, Easy Software, Plus LEDs

This product works great and has good documentation on the Github website. I was able to hook up my engines and modify the Python library in half a day. I like the fact that it offers 4 motor controllers instead of just 2 like other boards. Another interesting feature I wasn't aware of was the LEDs on the board. There are four sets of LEDs forming an arrow in four different directions - forward, backward, left, right. This is a great exercise for my students in the coding club.

Pros
  • Single motor output current: 600mA or 1 Apk per channel
Cons
  • Almost OK
