Motor Hat Suggestion

[jmorewo]

Hi there,

I'm pretty new to this so apologies if I sound stupid!

Part of my University project requires my to drive 4 motors from a Raspberry Pi however I cannot find a suitable HAT.

The 4 motors are as follows:
1: 12v DC @ 2.85A
2: 12v DC @ 2.85A
3: 12v DC @ 2.85A
4: 7.6v DC @ 2A

I want to see if there is a suitable hat(s) that can do this for me before looking into using individual speed controllers for each motor. I have looked into using an Arduino Shield to do this with an Arduberry to convert between Raspberry Pi and Arduino however I don't want to sacrifice the processing power of the Pi 3.

Has anybody got any suggestions?

Thanks!

How about the PicoBorg Reverse?

I haven't seen any motor controller HATS that would allow for different voltages to each motor, perhaps run the three 12V motors from a HAT and the 7.6V motor from a seperate motor driver?

This is exactly what I was looking for! Thankyou!
