Adafruit Stepper DC Motor FeatherWing (I2C)
File:TArduinoAdafruitMotorFeatherWing.png
Summary
Provides DC motor and stepper motor control using the Adafruit FeatherWing board based on PCA9685 via I2C.
Description
The **Adafruit Stepper + DC Motor FeatherWing** allows control of up to **4 DC motors** or **2 stepper motors** using I2C communication. It is based on the PCA9685 16-channel PWM driver and TB6612 MOSFET drivers. Each motor driver has configurable slope control, initial values, and enable states.
