It was quite easy to use and works very well. I did discover that the PWM output is easily picked-up by a mini audio amplifier I had sitting next to it on a breadboard. I moved the controller away and that fixed the problem. I would suggest that if you have a similar application you should use shielded wire to connect the Arduino PWM pins to the motor controller. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to use *by J***V on January 29, 2024* Product is easy to use for Arduino projects - I introduced everywhere when dealing with DC Motors ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ very flexible motor controller *by S***E on July 25, 2023* easy to control speed and direction of a motor. ideal for model railroading. good current capability. ## Frequently Bought Together - Adafruit DRV8871 DC Motor Driver Breakout Board - 3.6A Max - Arduino Mega 2560 R3 Board --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.uy/products/42326728-drv8871-dc-motor-driver-breakout-board-3-6a-max](https://www.desertcart.uy/products/42326728-drv8871-dc-motor-driver-breakout-board-3-6a-max) --- *Product available on Desertcart Uruguay* *Store origin: UY* *Last updated: 2026-05-30*
