Drive up to 4 DC motors or 2 stepper motors plus 2 hobby servos from a single stackable shield.\n\nThe v2 replaces the L293D darlington drivers with TB6612 MOSFET drivers, providing 1.2 A per channel (3 A peak for ~20 ms bursts) with lower voltage drop for more torque from your batteries. A dedicated PWM driver chip handles all motor control over I2C, using only two data pins (SDA & SCL) — making it compatible with any Arduino and fully stackable with up to 32 shields (5 address-select pins).\n\nKey Features\n\n\nTB6612 MOSFET Drivers – 1.2 A per channel, 3 A peak, with thermal shutdown and built-in flyback diodes\n\n4× DC Motors – Bi-directional with individual 8-bit speed control\n\n2× Stepper Motors – Unipolar or bipolar; single coil, double coil, interleaved, or micro-stepping\n\n2× Servo Connections – 5 V hobby servos on Arduino's dedicated timer (jitter-free)\n\nI2C Control – Dedicated PWM chip frees all Arduino PWM pins; only SDA + SCL needed\n\nStackable – 5 address-select pins allow up to 32 shields (128 DC motors or 64 steppers)\n\n4.5–13.5 V Motor Supply – Polarity-protected 2-pin terminal with jumper for separate logic/motor power\n\nLarge Terminal Blocks – Easy wire connection (18–26 AWG)\n\nPrototyping Area – Small area on the shield for additional components\n\n\nCompatibility\n\nArduino UNO, Leonardo, Due, Mega/ADK R3, Diecimila, and Duemilanove\nMega/ADK R2 and earlier with 2 wire jumpers\n\n\nIdeal For\n\nRobotics projects with multiple motors\nCNC and 3D printer motion control\nAutomated mechanisms with stepper motors\nPan/tilt servo systems with motor-driven locomotion\n\n\nPackage Contents\n\n1× Motor/Stepper/Servo Shield v2.3 (assembled and tested)\n1× Terminal block set (colour may vary)\n1× Plain header strip\n1× Jumper\n\n\n\nNote: Arduino, motors, and servos are not included. Some soldering is required to attach headers. Stacking headers sold separately if you want to stack multiple shields.\n\n\nResources\n\nMotor Shield v2 Learn Guide\n","vendor":"Adafruit","product_type":"physical","in_stock":true,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":7832,"title":"Default Title","sku":"AF-1438","price":41.1,"compare_at_price":0.0,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":true,"available_quantity":100,"option1":"Default Title"}]}
