## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=DRI0044:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/DRI0044:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

This DFRobot micro dual way DC motor driver is design based on TB6612FNG motor driver IC. It inherits DFRobot L298N motor control logic, which only need four pins to drive 2 motors. Compared with the IC Breakout, it saves two precious GPIO resource, especially in [Arduino UNO board](https://core-electronics.com.au/uno-r3.html).
TB612FNG is a dual-channel full-bridge drive chip. The maximum continuous drive current of single channel can reach 1.2A, peak value 2A/3.2A (continuous pulse / single pulse) , which can drive some micro [DC motors](https://core-electronics.com.au/components/motors/dc-motors.html). The control logic is similar to L298n, and the code can be directly compatible with the DFROBOT L298N motor driver. Standard XH2.54 pin can be inserted directly into the breadboard. It is a good choice for DIY project or product developments.

### Specification

- VCC Operating Voltage: 2.7V~5.5V
