The circuit has a very few components:
- TB1 & TB2 – 8 contact terminal blocks to connect to the Tortoise motors (4)
- TB3 & TB4 – 3 contact terminal blocks for power 5 and 12v and ground
- U1 – the ESP8266 component
- U2 – the MCP23017 component a 16-Bit I/O Expander with Serial Interface
- U3 & U4 – L293D Quadruple Half-H Drivers
- C1 & C3 – 33uf 16v capacitors
- C2 & C4 – 0.1uf capacitors
