Adafruit Arduino Motor Shield Build

Summary of Adafruit Arduino Motor Shield Build


The Arduino Motor Shield, based on the L298 dual full-bridge driver, enables independent speed and direction control of two DC motors using an Arduino board. It supports measuring motor current and is compatible with TinkerKit modules for easy project integration. The series includes detailed build and function test videos provided by Adafruit.

Parts used in the Adafruit Arduino Motor Shield Build:

  • Arduino Motor Shield
  • L298 Dual Full-Bridge Driver IC
  • DC Motors (two)
  • TinkerKit Modules (optional for project integration)

Overview

The Arduino Motor Shield is based on the L298 (datasheet), which is a dual full-bridge driver designed to drive inductive loads such as relays, solenoids, DC and stepping motors. It lets you drive two DC motors with your Arduino board, controlling the speed and direction of each one independently. You 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 plugging TinkerKit modules to the board.
