## Description

desertcart.com: Arduino Motor Shield REV3 [A000079] - Motor Control, 4 DC Motors, 2 Stepper Motors, 1.2A per Motor, Integrated Power Supply, Compatible with Arduino IDE for Robotics and Automation Projects : Electronics

Review: Worth the price - This motor shield works great. I had originally purchased a 4 channel L293D motor shield, but then returned it to get this one. Although those work fine (even with the required library download and finding obscure coding instructions), I find a 2 channel shield is much more user friendly and simpler to use. The product itself, although on the pricier side of motor shields, is definitely worth the cost. Haven't had any problems at all, neither in coding nor connection to an Arduino Uno R3. Additionally, since it is an Arduino product, the shield is well documented and accompanied by numerous instructional sources.
Review: Great producr - My son needed this along with the arduino board for an engineering class. This was an original made in Italy piece and it worked well. Please confirm that you are buying an original Arduino because there were many comments that buyers for other Arduino pieces were made in China. Radio shack carries this line as well but at a higher price for some things which is fine if the piece is made in Italy. He was happy with the motor shield.

## Features

- Dual H-Bridge Motor Driver: Features a dual H-bridge motor driver, enabling precise control of 4 DC motors or 2 stepper motors simultaneously, ideal for robotics, automation, and mobile projects.
- High Current Capacity: Each channel supports up to 2A continuous current (with proper cooling), allowing you to drive higher-power motors and load-heavy applications without compromising performance.
- Wide Voltage Range: Operates with a voltage range of 14V to 18V, making it compatible with a wide variety of motors and offering flexibility for different types of projects.
- Built-in Overcurrent Protection: The motor shield includes thermal and overcurrent protection, ensuring reliable and safe operation by automatically shutting down in case of excessive current or overheating.
- Full Arduino IDE Compatibility: Directly plugs into any Arduino board and is fully compatible with the Arduino IDE, allowing easy integration of motor control functions via Arduino libraries and examples for rapid prototyping.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does the shield work with a clone arduino such as ieik ?**
A: Yes, it works with arduino UNO clones and compatibles like the ieik.

**Q: Will this work with the arduino mega?  do I need a 12 vdc power supply for a motor?**
A: Hi MikeM,

Yes, this motor shield is compatible with Arduino Mega.  These two modules will not generate 12VDC, so you'll need to supply it externally for the motors.

**Q: Can I plug in sensors into the pins on top and run them at the same time as the motors?**
A: The pins on top are connected to different signals.  IN2 = Analog 2, In3 = Analog 3, Out6 = Digital 6, Out5 = Digital 5, TWI in and TWI out are connected to the i2c bus (SCL, SDA, 5V and GND).  TWI is a bus, so multiple devices can share the same pins.  All these pins can be used while you drive the motors.

**Q: How does this compare with the adafruit v2.3 motor shield?**
A: Sorry but my experiences are limited to the Arduino line of producers.
