Pins and ESP32 wiring
| Pin | Role | ESP32 pin | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| IN1 | Input (the ESP32 drives it) | D25 | |
| IN2 | Input (the ESP32 drives it) | D26 | |
| IN3 | Input (the ESP32 drives it) | D27 | |
| IN4 | Input (the ESP32 drives it) | D32 | |
| - | Ground | GND | Driver ground. Share it with the ESP32 GND |
| + | Power | VIN | Motor supply 5 V: use VIN (about 240 mA) |
Suggested wiring for the 30-pin ESP32 DevKit, avoiding flash, input-only and strapping pins. BoardPilot checks it for you as you wire.
This module is sold for 5 V. Its outputs may be 5 V: use a level shifter or a voltage divider on ESP32 inputs.
