Anyone using a low-voltage motor controller?
-
Some H-bridge controllers seem to assume a minimum voltage of 4.5v or greater (e.g. https://www.pololu.com/category/10/brushed-dc-motor-controllers). However, I may run motors at a much lower voltage. I found an H-bridge driver that can run motors at a very low voltage: http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/drv8838.pdf
Is there anything like that which already comes on its own breakout board at a reasonable price?

@NeverDie how low is the voltage ?
L9110 can go down to 2.5V and is ultra cheap on ali, else there are also plenty of DRV8833 (min 2.7V) breakout boards it seems ?@Nca78 said in Anyone using a low-voltage motor controller?:
how low is the voltage ?
Not really sure yet, as I haven't finished selecting the motor. Sorry for the vagueness, but definitely lower than 4.5v.
