Worked well.

Worked as expected for powering small dc 6 motor with a fan attached. I’m new to this, but I was surprised how
wide the speed range.
TB6612FNG Motor Driver
about 2 weeks ago by Member #1269791 verified purchaser
Basically it is a very good driver and is easy to use as is.
Improvements to consider: Currently there is no way to mount the board short of double back tape. Four (4)
small holes would be nice say big enough for # 2-56 screws
Added feature (option) 1.5 amps is nice for small motors. You might think about developing an add-on board or
maybe another board to allow for the use of larger motors, say 5 amps or more.
The board I have I will use as is for the time being but I when I move on to a larger project, I will add a set of
four (4) MOS FETs to allow me to drive much larger motors.
All in All, I like the board and will use it in my current project and will probably get another one along with some
MOS FETS to increase the boards capacity.
