Motors make the world spin around, and now you can easily control motors with MicroPython and thePCA9685 DC Motor & Stepper driver! Simple DC motors can moved forwards and backwards, perfect for moving the wheels on a robot or vehicle. Stepper motors can precisely move in small increments, like moving the nozzle of a 3D printer up and down with millimeter accuracy. Using a simple MicroPython library and the PCA9685 DC Motor & Stepper driver board you can drive both DC motors and stepper motors and add movement to any project.
