I am creating a H-Bridge circuit using high-power MOSFET transistors. The circuit will be mounted on an Adafruit Perma-Proto HAT. It will be capable of driving motors with currents up to 30 A. The goal of this project is a cheap motor driver that can power mid-sized motors.

I would love it if someone wanted to help me finish this circuit and help me over the hurdles I am facing. I am simulating the circuit on 123D Circuits and could share it with anyone who wants to help.
  • 8 × IRLB8721 N-Channel MOSFET Transistor Rated for 30 V / 60 A
  • 1 × Adafruit Perma-Proto HAT (with EEPROM)
  • 1 × Raspberry Pi 2 Model B+
  • 1 × Pi Cobler
