# CamJam EduKit 3 motor controller board
|
|
|
|
This motor controller board is part of CamJam EduKit 3 - Robotics but is also [available separately from The Pi Hut](https://thepihut.com/products/camjam-edukit-motor-controller). It provides two motor outputs for 6V motors using a DRV8833 H Bridge and breaks out most of the unused pins to a female header on top of the board.
|
|
|
|
Pins that are broken out to the header are as follows: 5v, 3v3, SDA and SCL (for I2C devices), 4, 17, 18, 22, 23, 24, 25, 27, and Ground.
|
|
|
|
The board expects 4 AA batteries to be used to power the board, although it will accept up to 10V if you have more powerful motors available. A flyback diode is provided to protect your board and Raspberry Pi if you should accidentally wire up the power source the wrong way around.
|

|
The motor controller board was designed by Rachel Rayns for The Pi Hut. Educational material was written by [Tim Richardson](https://twitter.com/Geeky_Tim) and tested by [Michael Horne](https://twitter.com/recantha) over at [CamJam](https://camjam.me/edukit).
