Pololu A4990 Dual Motor Driver Shield for Arduino

The Pololu A4990 Dual Motor Driver Shield for Arduino is a compact, economical solution for controlling two small brushed DC motors using an Arduino or Arduino-compatible board. The shield's integrated A4990 dual motor driver operates within a range of 6V to 32V and can deliver a continuous 0.65A to each motor channel. This makes it an ideal control tool for low-current motors that operate at high voltages. The A4990 is designed to limit peak motor current to approximately 0.9A per channel and offers protection against a range of conditions, including reverse-voltage, under-voltage, over-voltage, short-circuit, and over-temperature.

The Pololu A4990 Dual Motor Driver Shield is perfect for various applications. Whether you're building a small robot or a custom automation system, this shield will help you control your motors with precision and ease. It's also great for educational purposes, allowing students to learn about motor control in a hands-on, practical way.

One of the key benefits of the Pololu A4990 Dual Motor Driver Shield is its protective features. The shield's ability to guard against reverse-voltage, under-voltage, over-voltage, short-circuit, and over-temperature conditions ensures the longevity of your motors and your Arduino board. It also limits the peak motor current to about 0.9A per channel, preventing any potential damage from excessive current.

Another unique property of the Pololu A4990 Dual Motor Driver Shield is its compact size. Despite its small form factor, it doesn't compromise on power or functionality. This makes it an economical and space-saving solution for all your motor control needs.
