2x2A DC Motor Shield for Arduino

The Arduino motor shield provides an efficient solution for projects that require motor control, whether for robotics or DIY kinetic art installations. By mounting this shield onto your Arduino, you can drive two DC motors effortlessly, catering to both speed and load requirements depending on your motor choice. The L298P chip at its core facilitates the control of two DC motors at 7-12V with a maximum current of 2A, finetuning your project's performance.

With speed control made easy through conventional Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) via Arduino's PWM output pins 5 and 6, you have precise control over motor velocity. The enable and disable functionalities are controlled using digital pins 4 and 7, offering seamless operation management. While the motor shield can be powered by the Arduino itself, an external power source is recommended, especially for higher power demands, ensuring optimal performance in applications like an Arduino-powered robot.

This motor shield is designed for hassle-free integration with several Arduino models, including the Arduino UNO R3, DFRduino UNO R3, and Bluno Mega 1280/2560. A variant available as the twin 2x2A motor shield uses alternative pins to prevent conflicts, offering flexibility in complex projects. This adaptability makes the Arduino motor shield a versatile companion for any ambitious motor control endeavor.
