Direct Drive Servo Motor Driver Board for DDSM400

This DDSM Driver Board is a motor driver expansion board that lets you control up to six DDSM400 servo motors simultaneously, which is ideal for a variety of robotic projects (If you're looking for a board to control DDSM115, DDSM210 or DDSM315 motors, click here).

It connects to a Raspberry Pi through its integrated 5V buck regulator circuit and a GPIO 40-pin header connector.

The board is built around the ESP32-WROOM-32 module, with multiple wired and wireless communication methods. You can also send JSON commands for easy motor control. The motors can be used via the ESP32 UART or the Type-C USB port, making it easy to integrate with your system.

The board also comes with motor control demos and an SDK.

Features

• Suitable for DDSM400 hub motor, onboard 6-ch DDSM400 motor interfaces
• Based on ESP32-WROOM-32 module, supports multiple wired and wireless communication modes, supports JSON command interaction for easier control
• Provides DDSM400 hub motor control demo and SDK, easy-to-use
• Integrated WEB application for controlling and setting the DDSM400 hub motors, more convenient for debugging
• Control the hub motors directly via the Type-C port
• Connect to Raspberry Pi, powering the Pi via a 5V buck regulator circuit and communicating through GPIO UART interface, neat cable management
