Motor and Stepper FeatherWing Addon For All Feather Boards

A Feather board without ambition is a Feather board without FeatherWings! This is the Motor + Stepper FeatherWing which will let you use 2 x bi-polar stepper motors or 4 x brushed motorx (or 1 stepper and 2 motors). Using our Feather Stacking Headers or Feather Female Headers you can connect a FeatherWing on top or bottom of your Feather board and let the board take flight! The original Motorshield Kit is one of our most beloved kits, which is why we decided to squish it all together on a FeatherWing to make something even smaller, lighter, and more portable! Instead of using a latch and the Arduino's PWM pins, we have a fully-dedicated PWM driver chip onboard.

This chip handles all the motor and speed controls over I2C. Since the FeatherWing only uses the I2C (SDA & SCL pins), it works with any and all Feathers- ATmega32u4, ATSAM M0 or ESP8266-based. You can stack it with any other FeatherWing or with itself (just make sure you have each wing with a unique I2C address). Comes with an assembled & tested FeatherWing, terminal blocks & plain header. Some soldering is required to assemble the headers on. Stacking headers not included, but we sell them in the shop so if you want to stack shields, please pick them up at the same time.

Feather and motors are not included but we have lots of motors in the shop. You can use any or stepper motors that run from 4.5 - 13.5V and draw under 1.2A (3A peak) per coil. You'll likely also need to provide some external power supply for your motors, since its not suggested you run motors from the Feather's lipoly battery. Please note that unlike the full sized shield, there's no servo connections (they wouldnt fit! ) So if you need a bunch of servos, check out our 8-channel Servo Featherwing.
