Description
Motor Shield – Powerful Expansion Board for Easy Motor Control in Robotics Projects
Key Features:
- Dual H-Bridge Motor Drivers: The shield features dual H-bridge motor drivers, capable of controlling up to 4 DC motors or 2 stepper motors simultaneously. It supports forward and reverse motion, making it perfect for driving wheels, conveyor belts, or mechanical arms.
- Servo Motor Support: In addition to DC and stepper motors, the Motor Shield has dedicated headers for controlling up to 2 servo motors, providing precise control for applications like robotic arms, pan-tilt systems, and camera gimbals.
- High Current Capability: Each motor channel can handle currents up to 1.2A (continuous) and 2A (peak), providing enough power to drive medium-sized motors. It is ideal for projects that require strong and reliable motor control.
- PWM Speed Control: The shield supports pulse-width modulation (PWM) for speed control, allowing you to vary the motor speed smoothly. This feature is essential for creating responsive and adjustable motion in your projects.
- Stackable Design: With its stackable layout, the Motor Shield can be easily combined with other shields and components. It connects directly to your Arduino or microcontroller, maintaining a compact and organized design.
- Built-in Protection: Equipped with thermal shutdown, overcurrent protection, and flyback diodes, the Motor Shield safeguards your motors and power supply from damage, ensuring safe and reliable operation.
- Wide Range of Applications: Suitable for robotics, RC vehicles, CNC machines, automated gates, and any project that requires motor control. It’s a versatile tool for hobbyists, educators, and engineers looking to build motor-driven systems.
