Rotoshield - Motor driver shield for Arduino

Put your electronic assemblies in motion !

A motor driver shield for Arduino Uno, Mega and Duemilanove.

Use the integrated circuit L293DNE (Quad Half H-bridge) that provides 0.6A per bridge (1.2A peak) with thermal protection and kickback diodes integrated.

DC motors from 4.5VDC to 20VDC

  • Can control up to four DC motors individually controlled speed (256 levels)
  • Can control up to 2 stepper motors.

Features :

  • 4 bi-color LED to indicate the direction of rotation for each motor.
  • I2C bus used to minimize digital output pin used.
  • Only 4 Arduino PWM outputs and 2 analog input are used
  • Easy programming thanks to the library developed for this shield (see below).
  • Pull down resistors built to disable the motors during board startup.
  • 2 screw terminals to simplify wiring to the motors;
  • 1 screw terminal dedicated to motor power supply (anti-interference improvment).
  • ATX power supply header on the board. ATX 12VDC can be used for motor power by shorting dedicated solder jumper.
  • 8 additional outputs available on 16 PWM intensity levels
  • Control sensors and outputs using the same shield.

Arduino reset button brought the shield.

Compatible with Arduino Uno, Uno CMS, Duemilanove and Mega
