Descripción
The Arduino Motor Shield is based on the L298, which is a full-bridge dual conductor designed to drive inductive loads such as relays, solenoids, DC and stepper motors.
It allows you to drive two DC motors with the Arduino board, controlling the speed and direction of each one independently.
It can also measure the motor current absorption of each motor, among other features. The shield is TinkerKit compatible, which means you can quickly create projects by connecting the TinkerKit modules to the board.
Specifications:
• Operating voltage: 5V to 12V
• L298P motor controller, drives 2 DC motors or 1 stepper
motor • Maximum current: 2A per channel or 4A maximum (with external power supply)
• Current detection: 1.65V/A
• Free running stop and braking function
