Description

SparkFun SparkFun Serial Controlled Motor DriverThe SparkFun Serial Controlled Motor Driver (SCMD) is a DC motor driver thats been designed to drive small DC motors with ease. The SCMD is designed to emulate a typical register based device in operation. It can be commanded by UART, I2C or SPI communication, and it can drive a constant 1. 2A load per motor (peak 1. 5A) at 11V. Need more than two motors? Chain multiple SCMDs together and command them through the same serial interface. Need more

The SparkFun Serial Controlled Motor Driver (SCMD) is a DC motor driver that�s been designed to drive small DC motors with ease. The SCMD is designed to emulate a typical register-based device in operation. It can be commanded by UART, I2C or SPI communication, and it can drive a constant 1.2A load per motor (peak 1.5A) at 11V. Need more than two motors? Chain multiple SCMDs together and command them through the same serial interface. Need more current? Each board�s output can be bridged to allow double current.

This driver board was designed to be affordable, compact and have more features than previous versions of serial-controlled motor drivers. Its main advantage is the variability of drive levels, making fine control adjustments a possibility. The SCMD is a 3.3V logic device! If you need to interface to 5V, you’ll need to use a logic level converter – or modify the SCMDs from stock to operate at 5V and supply your own regulated 5V.

Poor quality product, hardware not appropriate
Size: 24 Inch, Color: Black, Number of Items: 1, Size: 24 Inch, Color: Black, Number of Items: 1
Do not waste your money on these, not as described, very cheap, hardware does not work. Going to have to repair my wall before I can do anything else. Completely unacceptable product. Very frustrating and was not properly represented in the marketing advertising. Do not buy. Would like to return, but waited 3 days to long. If I had opened them immediately I would have seen the poor quality.

Put shelves in before connecting the sides
Color: Black, Size: 6 Tier(8 inches)
Once it’s put together, it’s very nice. I will caution you to remember that the two sides do not get attached before you put in the shelves. You cannot put the shelves in once the two sides are connected. If you remember that, the assembling is not so bad..

👍👍
Color: White, Size: 6 Tier(8 inches)
I love how it makes my laundry area looks, It fit perfectly in the small space between the wall and the washer. I would have like if the big containers of detergent fit better in the lower shelves, but I made it work. It's not adjustable, the quality it pretty good, no complaints about the quality, assembly was easy and it's pretty stable.
