SMUGDESK ESP32 Robot Driver Board TB6612FNG Raspberry Pi Jetson Nano

SKU CH-RMXV-T3NS2

ESP32-based robot driver board with TB6612FNG motor drivers, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and ESP-NOW for Raspberry Pi and Jetson Nano

  • ESP32-WROOM-32 core delivers WiFi, Bluetooth and ESP-NOW wireless control
  • TB6612FNG dual H-bridge drives DC motors, encoders and PWM servos independently
  • UART and GPIO links enable direct collaboration with Raspberry Pi and Jetson Nano
  • Reserved I2C and sensor ports simplify LiDAR, IMU and module expansion
  • Wide DC input with reverse and overcurrent protection suits chassis mounting

ESP32-WROOM-32 Robot Driver Board

This SMUGDESK board uses an ESP32-WROOM-32 core to provide WiFi, Bluetooth and ESP-NOW wireless links. It acts as a secondary controller for Raspberry Pi or Jetson Nano mainboards. Dual TB6612FNG chips drive DC motors, encoders and PWM servos independently. Reserved UART and I2C ports allow easy sensor expansion.

Makers adding wireless motor control to a Pi

Developers building autonomous robots, rovers or swarm projects benefit from the integrated ESP-NOW protocol and direct hardware docking. Builders who need a standalone microcontroller without a separate host computer should look at a different solution. Projects requiring higher motor current than the TB6612FNG rating allows will need external drivers.

Dual TB6612FNG drivers and sensor headers

The onboard H-bridge chips handle two DC motor channels with encoder feedback and servo PWM outputs. Protected wide-voltage input and standard mounting holes simplify chassis integration. UART, I2C and spare GPIO pins let you attach lidar, IMU or other modules without extra wiring harnesses.

Questions about this item

What host board do I need to connect this driver board to for collaborative control?

It connects to any Raspberry Pi full-series board or a Jetson Nano through UART serial and GPIO pin headers.

Will the onboard TB6612FNG driver chips still drive my existing DC geared motors and PWM servos?

Yes, the dual TB6612FNG H-bridge chips independently drive DC geared motors, encoders and PWM servos.

How can I verify the ESP-NOW wireless link is working after I power up the board?

ESP-NOW provides direct peer-to-peer communication with latency below 10 ms and open-space range up to 200 m, so a responsive remote-control test confirms operation.
