1.INTRODUCTION
SHIELD2AMOTOR is an Arduino shield for controlling dual DC motor up to 2A for each
channel. It is compatible with Arduino Uno, Arduino Leonardo, Arduino Mega, Arduino Due and
possibly other pin compatible main boards. SHIELD2AMOTOR uses L298P SMD IC and
support for both signed magnitude and locked antiphase. SHIELD2AMOTOR shield has
stackablesideheaderswhichallowsformoreArduinoshieldstobestackedontopofit.

● Bidirectionalcontrolfor2brushedDCmotor.
● Supportmotorvoltagerangesfrom5Vto26V.
● Maximumcurrentupto2Acontinuous.
● 3.3Vand5Vlogiclevelinput.
● StackableI/Oheaderpin.
● SelectablepinsforSignedMagnitudeandLockedAntiPhase.
● Testswitchforbothchannel.
● Externalvoltagepolarityprotector.

6.HARDWAREINSTALLATION
This section shows the example of using SHIELD2AMOTOR with Arduino Uno as the main
controller to control dual brush DC motor. However, other Arduino main board controller can be
used(Leonardo,Mega,Due).

Figure above shows that the SHIELD2AMOTOR is stacked on the Arduino UNO. Please ensure
thatthepinsalignmentiscorrect.
Select pin mode (4 pins) to be Signed Magnitude or Locked AntiPhase. The default setting is
Signed Magnitude. Make sure correct power source is selected (VIN or PWRIN). VIN will
connect to the Arduino power source, while PWRIN needs external power source connected to the
PWRINterminalblock.
