Printed-circuit boards for Layout Command Control quad stall motor drivers with sense for various SMB/MCUs. Raspberry Pi HAT ($10), Beagle Bone Cape ($10), Pocket Beagle Base Board ($15), and ESP32 Base Board ($15). Circuit contains two sections. Output section contains four TC4428 chips.

The outputs of each pair of drivers are wired to the terminal block for one of the motors. For any given logic state of the motor control output, one of the drivers is “on” and the other is “off,” thus one motor terminal is ground and one is raised to the 12V supply.
