Motor Power Pins

You must provide an external power supply for driving the motors. Provide 5-12V DC power + ground on these pins! Soldering in a terminal block will make it a little easier to swap in power supplies

Motor Outputs

There are two motor sets. The left set is known as Stepper 1 or M1 + M2. The right set is Stepper 2 or M3 + M4

You can control 2 Steppers, or 1 Stepper + up to 2 DC motors or up to 4 DC motors by mixing and matching what is connected to each port.

Logic Power Pins

The logic power to the I2C expander and motor pins comes from the Feather's 3.3V regulator, 3.3V and ground are both required.

I2C Data Pins

All data and control is done over I2C so it works with any and all Feathers! No need to set any PWMs. SDA and SCL are highlighted above. There are 10K pullups to 3.3V on each.

I2C Addressing

You can stack multiple Motor Wings. Each board in the chain must be assigned a unique address. This is done with the address jumpers on the bottom of the board. The I2C base address for each board is 0x60. The binary address that you program with the address jumpers is added to the base I2C address.

To program the address offset, use a drop of solder to bridge the corresponding address jumper for each binary '1' in the address.

The left-most jumper is address bit #0, then to the right of that is address bit #1, etc up to address bit #4
