Arduino Motor Shield Rev3 | A000079 The Arduino Motor Shield is based on the L298 (datasheet), which is a dual full-bridge driver designed to drive inductive loads such as relays, solenoids, DC and stepping motors. It lets you drive two DC motors with your Arduino board, controlling the speed and direction of each one independently. You can also measure the motor current absorption of each motor, among other features. The shield is TinkerKit compatible, which means you can quickly create projects by plugging TinkerKit modules to the board. Getting Started You can find in the Getting Started section all the information you need to configure your board, use the Arduino Software (IDE), and start tinkering with coding and electronics. Tech specs Operating Voltage 5V to 12V Motor controller L298P, Drives 2 DC motors or 1 stepper motor Max current 2A per channel or 4A max (with external power supply) Current sensing 1.65V/A Free running, stop, and brake function Documentation EAGLE FILES IN .ZIP SCHEMATICS IN .PDF Arduino Forum Arduino Doc Compliance
