  • Page 3 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. SHIELD-2AMOTOR uses L298P SMD IC and support for both signed magnitude and locked anti-phase. SHIELD-2AMOTOR shield has stackable side headers which allows for more Arduino shields to be stacked on top of it.
