Pololu Dual G2 High-Power Motor Driver 18v18 Shield for Arduino

The Pololu Dual G2 High-Power Motor Driver 18v18 Shield uses pairs of discrete MOSFET H-bridges to drive two large brushed DC motors. It has an Arduino shield form factor for direct plug-in use, and also breaks out all motor driver pins along the left side for standalone operation without an Arduino.

This 18v18 version operates from 6.5–30 V and delivers up to 18 A continuous per channel (with appropriate heatsinking and airflow), making it suitable for driving high-power motors in robotics and automation projects.

Key Features

• Dual H-Bridge – Drive two brushed DC motors independently
• Discrete MOSFET Design – High-power capability with low on-resistance
• Arduino Shield Form Factor – Plugs directly into Arduino Uno, Mega, and compatible boards
• Standalone Mode – All motor driver pins broken out for use without Arduino
• Current Sense – Analogue current sense output for each motor
• PWM Speed Control – Direction and speed control via digital pins
