| Aug 16, 2020 at 14:43 | comment | added | Vikash Singh | Thanks, for the input and answer. I will go with the TB6612FNG approach. | |

There are many available, but make sure it will work with your particular model of RPi, and make sure it has enough current capability (I don't know how much current the motors you have would use). | |

Do not use a Darlington part like an L293 or L298, at low voltages you would find it dissapointing. A pi isn't a great fit for this project, it's more of an Arduino / ESP32 kind of role... | |
