Each module can independently control up to three motors, and multiple shields can be stacked on top of the same Arduino for projects that need to control even more motors. The M3S256 operates from 4.5 V to 48 V and can deliver continuous output currents up to 2 A per motor. This version ships with soldered stackable headers and terminal blocks.The Motoron M3S256 shield makes it easy to control up to three bidirectional, brushed DC motors with an Arduino or compatible board, such as the A-Star 32U4 Prime. It operates from 4.5 V to 48 V and can deliver continuous output currents up to 2 A per motor. Multiple Motoron controllers can be stacked on top of each other, allowing independent control of many motors. Unlike most of our motor drivers and motor driver shields, the Motoron does not require any PWM outputs or timers on your Arduino. Instead, the Arduino communicates with the Motoron using I²C, so only two I/O lines are needed regardless of how many Motorons you connect.Features and specifications\n\nThree motor control channels allow for independent control of up to three bidirectional brushed DC motors per Motoron\nWide operating voltage range: 4.5 V to 48 V\nMaximum output current per motor: 2.0 A continuous, 6.4 A peak for <1 second\nReverse-voltage protection on motor power supply (down to -40 V)\nLogic voltage range: 2.8 V to 5.5 V\nControl interface: I²C\nI²C clock speed: up to 400 kHz\nOptional cyclic redundancy checking (CRC)\nConfigurable motion parameters:\nMax acceleration/deceleration forward/reverse\nStarting speed forward/reverse\nDirection change delay forward/reverse\n\n\nPWM frequency: eight options available from 1 kHz to 80 kHz\nCommand timeout feature stops motors if the Arduino stops functioning\nConfigurable automatic error response\nMotor power supply (VIN) voltage measurement\nOptional pins make it easy to power the Arduino from reverse-protected motor power, either directly or through an external regulator (not included)\nTwo status LEDs\nMotor direction indicator LEDs\n\nMotoron Arduino library simplifies getting started using the Motoron with an Arduino or compatible controller\nComprehensive user’s guide\n\n","vendor":"Pololu","product_type":"physical","in_stock":true,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":2050,"title":"Default Title","sku":"PL-5030","price":84.66,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":true,"available_quantity":1,"option1":"Default Title"}]}
