The SparkFun Dual H-Bridge Block adds DC motor control to the Intel Edison platform. It can drive two DC motors independently at voltages from 2.7V to 15V with up to 1A per channel, making it suitable for small robotics and motorised projects built around the Edison.

The block is electrically isolated from the Edison via a logic level converter, ensuring safe operation. External motor power is supplied through the VIN and GND headers. It connects to the Edison via the standard 70-pin Hirose connector and can be stacked with other Edison Blocks.
