# MotoZero
The MotoZero is a simple Raspberry Pi motor controller add-on board that lets you control up to 4 motors independently.
With simple GPIO control and its very own GPIO Zero library entry, it's one of the easiest ways to control lots of motors on your Raspberry Pi
Features:
* Control 4 motors independently in both forwards and reverse
* Control with basic GPIO 'on/off' code, or use the excellent GPIO Zero library
* Terminals break out the motor outputs to the edge of the board, ideal for wheeled and tracked robots
* Robust chunky terminal blocks for solid connections
* Pi Zero sized, although will fit all 40pin Raspberry Pi models
* Simply power your Pi the usual way (via the micro-USB connection using a plug, power bank or similar) and then add battery power for the motors.
* Built-in flyback diodes within the controller chips, which prevent damage from motor 'flyback' voltage spikes
