Description
This Motor Shield is a great and quick way to control DC motors, servos or even stepper motors. It has the capability of controlling up to 2 stepper motors, 4 DC motors. and 2 servos. This shield would be a good start for beginners because of its versatility for its low price range.
Brief Data:
- 2 connections for 5V ‘hobby’ servos connected to the Arduino’s high-resolution dedicated timer – no jitter!
- Up to 4 bi-directional DC motors with individual 8-bit speed selection (so, about 0.5% resolution).
- Up to 2 stepper motors (unipolar or bipolar) with single coil, double coil, interleaved or micro-stepping.
- 4 H-Bridges: L293D chipset provides 0.6A per bridge (1.2A peak) with thermal shutdow protection, 4.5V to 25V.
- Pull down resistors keep motors disabled during power-up.
- Big terminal block connectors to easily hook up wires (10-22AWG) and power.
- Arduino reset button brought up top.
- 2-pin terminal block to connect external power, for separate logic/motor supplies.
- Tested compatible with Mega, Diecimila, & Duemilanove.
