MotoMama

MotoMama is an Arduino shield built around the L298N H-bridge driver chip for small motor and robot projects. It can drive two DC motors or one four-wire, two-phase stepper motor.

Motor power can be supplied through the onboard power terminal, which can also power the Arduino board. Alternatively, the shield can take power from the Arduino power jack via the Vin pin and use that to drive the motor.

For wireless robotics builds, the board includes a wireless area for an XBee or XBee pin-compatible module such as BTBee, as well as an nRF24L01 module. The remaining Arduino analogue pins are laid out so they can be used for sensor input, output, or simple control.

The header pins are not pre-assembled, giving you flexibility to use MotoMama as an Arduino UNO or IFLAT shield, or as a standalone DC driver platform. Positioning holes are provided so it can be fixed to a robot chassis.
