Hello!

 

I was just wondering how many motors the Netduino could control with an H-bridge setup, controlliing only on/off and direction of the motor. The only examples I have found are of 2 motors. Is it possible to control more? how many?

With the right controller, on, off, forward and backward (no speed control) would require 2 pins per motor. So depending on which Netduino you got, you could potentially control 8 to 11 motors and with an IO expander IC you could control many more.
