Description:
This
is a motor shield for Arduino that will control two DC motors. Based on
the L298 H-bridge, the SparkFun Ardumoto can drive up to 2 amps per
channel. The board takes its power from the same Vin line as the Arduino
board, includes blue and yellow LEDs to indicate active direction, and
all driver lines are diode protected from back EMF. The new version of
this shield allows for either 3.3 or 5v logic, a separate and more
robust VIN connection, and the PWM input has moved to pin 3.
Control
for motor attached to OUT1/2 is connected to digital line 12 (direction
A) and digital line 3 (PWM A). Control for motor attached to OUT3/4 is
connected to digital line 13 (direction B) and digital line 11 (PWM B).
Compatible
screw terminals and connectors are listed below. They are not included
in this SKU. You will need to add them to your cart separately.
Note: The VIN connection is tied directly to the VIN on the Arduino, so make sure to not apply power to both.
