Using The L9110H Motor Controller With The Wemos D1 Mini #ESP8266 #Motors #Wemos #Arduino @Average_Maker
Via Average Maker, this post focuses on using L9110H motor controller ICs with the ESP8266-based Wemos D1 board. The L9110H is the little cousin to the more famous L293D motor controller.
L9110H – The Perfect Beginner IC?
I should give this thing more credit, it’s actually pretty solid for something so cheap and small.
The L9110H has some handy features that similar chips don’t always offer, which will help beginners (even if they’re not aware of them):
Wide input voltage range – 2.5V-12V
Built-in clamp diodes
Forward & reverse capability
Just 8 pins
I love that you can make something move with just 8 pins and pretty much any battery pack you’ve likely got lying around the house. Let’s do it!

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
