Requirements

Take FireBeetle ESP8266 board as an example at here, other Arduino control boards such as

arduino UNO, arduino Mega… are also can be used.

DC Motor Drive

FireBeetle Covers-DC Motor&Stepper Driver can control up to 4-channel DC motors simultaneously.

There are 4 marked motor connectors: M1A&M1B, M2A&M2B, M3A&M3B and M4A&M4B. We’ll

show you how to control a DC motor with a Firebeetle or Arduino board.

Hardware Connection

Connect the DC motor to M1A&M1B port, M1A to anode and M1B to cathode. Generally, you need

to connect a motor power (4~12V) to Motor PWR port, and connect a logic power (3.3~5V) to VCC &

GND pins. If you use FireBeetle, you can plug the cover on the board, and connect the external

power (4~12V).
