What is Arduino

Arduino ® is an open-source prototyping platform based in easy-to-use hardware and software. Arduino
are able to read inputs – light-on sensor, a finger on a button or a Twitter message – and turn it into an output
– activating of a motor, turning on an LED, publishing something online. You can tell your board what to do by
sending a set of instructions to the microcontroller on the board. To do so, you use the Arduino programming
language (based on Wiring) and the Arduino

Overview

This MOS driver module accepts Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) input to drive 24 VDC loads, making it perfect
for many projects such as lighting, DC motors, pumps and solenoids.
