## Description

The ZeroBorg is ModMyPi's add-on board for controlling motors using the Raspberry Pi Zero. It's small size means it fits neatly below a Raspberry Pi Zero and opens up endless possibilities for tiny robot designs.

The ZeroBorg can control up to 4 motors independently and is stackable via I2C, so you can keep adding ZeroBorgs (and ModMyPi's other compatible I2C boards) to control additional motors!

**ZeroBorg is fully customizable, so you can match your ZeroBorg to your project you're making! The following optional add-ons are compatible with the ZeroBorg:**

- A 5V DC/DC regulator to power the Pi as well as the motors,
- An [infrared sensor ](https://core-electronics.com.au/ir-receiver-diode-tsop38238.html)to control the motors via an infrared remote control,
- A [9V battery clip](https://core-electronics.com.au/9v-battery-clip.html) to power the Pi and the motors.
 
The ZeroBorg "Basic" has none of the above optional add-ons, it is the ZeroBorg Motor Controller Board only.

We also provide the [ZeroBorg with all the additional components](https://core-electronics.com.au/zeroborg-complete-quad-motor-controller.html) soldered so you can plug in your robot and go!
