Getting started with the EVSPIN958 brushed DC motor driver expansion board
based on the STSPIN958
Introduction
The EVSPIN958 single brushed DC motor driver expansion board is based on the STSPIN958.
It provides an affordable and easy-to-use solution for the implementation of brushed DC motor driving applications. Thanks
to the parallel operation, it can be easily converted to a single half-bridge with double current capability. In addition to the
internal current limiter, the integrated amplifiers allow it to be used in systems with external current control. The EVSPIN958 is
compatible with the Arduino UNO R3 connector and most STM32 Nucleo boards.
