BPI-UNO32 with ESP32

This robot board is design for Arduino Nano and Nano compatible boards. It is designed by Harsh Dethe and made by BPI factory.

BPI-Nano robot board's motor drive expansion plate available in the bpi-nano controller supports dual-circuit motor control, with single maximum current up to 1A.

Arduino standard pin design interface, also can be used with Arduino Nano. It can be use for the development of small mobile robots.

Software

Sample code

//This motor shield use Pin 2,3,4,5,6,7,8 to control the motor
// Just plug the nano into the shield
// Simply connect your motors to M1 ,M2
// Upload the code to BPI-NANO/arduino
// Through serial monitor, type 'a','s', 'w','d','x' to control the motor
