Product User’s Manual – SHIELD-MD10
1.0 INTRODUCTION
SHIELD-MD10 is an Arduino shield for controlling high current brushed DC motor up to
10A continuously. It is compatible with Arduino UNO,Arduino Duemilanove,Arduino
Mega,Arduino Leonardo and possibly other pin compatible main boards. SHIELD-MD10
uses full solid state components which results in faster response time and eliminates the wear
and tear of the mechanical relay. SHIELD-MD10 shield has stackable side headers which
allows for more Arduino shields to be stacked on top of it.
SHIELD-MD10 Shield come with these features:
●Bi-directional control for 1 brushed DC motor.
●New!! Support motor voltage ranges from 7V to 30V.
●Maximum current up to 10A continuous and 15A peak (10 seconds).
●3.3V and 5V logic level input.
●Solid state components provide faster response time and eliminate the wear and tear
of mechanical relay.
●Fully NMOS H-Bridge for better efficiency and no heat sink is required.
●Speed control PWM frequency up to 10KHz.
●Stackable I/O header pin.
●Selectable digital pins for PWM and DIR.
Note: Please note that there will be only Shield MD10 Rev 2.0. There is an improvement
made in Shield MD10 Rev 2.0. For Shield MD10 Rev 2.0, "SHIELD-MD10 R2" is labelled
at the front and back of the shield like shown in the figure.
