Motor Controllers vs Motor Drivers

If you’ve ever built a robot with wheels, or any motorised parts really, you’ll have come across the issue of needing to drive it from your microcontroller. Because a standard chip is only able to output a small amount of current, you’re not able to reliably drive small motors directly, let alone bigger ones. So, you need a way to drive them, which is where a motor driver comes in.
