Introduction

This motor shield allows Arduino to drive two channel DC motors. It uses a L298N chip which

deliveries output current up to 2A each channel. The speed control is achieved through conventional

PWM which can be obtained from Arduino’s PWM output Pin 5 and 6. The enable/disable function of

the motor control is signalled by Arduino Digital Pin 4 and 7.

The Motor shield can be powered directly from Arduino or from external power source. It is strongly

encouraged to use external power supply to power the motor shield.
