A000079, Arduino MOTOR SHIELD

The Arduino Motor Shield Rev3, based on the L298 dual full-bridge driver, enables independent control of two DC motors or one stepper motor with your Arduino board. It allows for speed and direction control of each motor and includes current sensing for monitoring motor current absorption. This shield is compatible with TinkerKit modules, allowing quick project setups by connecting compatible components directly.

• Dual Motor Control: Independently drive two DC motors or one stepper motor
• Current Sensing: 1.65V/A for monitoring motor absorption
• TinkerKit Compatible: Connect TinkerKit modules easily for rapid prototyping

• Operating Voltage: 5V ~ 12V
• Motor Controller: L298P, supports 2 DC motors or 1 stepper motor
• Max Current: 2A per channel, 4A total (with external power supply)

• External Power Supply Only:
• Separate power inputs for logic and motor supply
• Necessary for handling motor currents beyond USB limits

The Motor Shield includes two channels (A and B) with dedicated pins for direction, PWM, brake, and current sensing:

• Direction: D12
• PWM: D3
• Brake: D9
• Current Sensing: A0

• Direction: D13
• PWM: D11
• Brake: D8
• Current Sensing: A1
