## Description

The Ardumoto Shield is a dual-motor controller for Arduino based on the L298 H-bridge. It can drive two DC motors at up to 2A per channel, making it an excellent platform for RC vehicles and small autonomous robots. The board draws power from the Arduino's Vin line and includes blue and yellow LEDs to indicate active motor direction. All driver lines are diode-protected from back EMF. Key Features L298 H-Bridge Driver – Two independent channels for driving up to two DC motors 2A Per Channel – Delivers up to 2A per motor (depends on power source) Direction Indicator LEDs – Blue and yellow LEDs show active motor direction Back EMF Protection – All driver lines are diode-protected Arduino Shield Form Factor – Plugs directly into Arduino boards Ideal For Two-wheel-drive robot platforms RC vehicle control Small autonomous robots Note: Screw terminals and stackable headers are not included and must be purchased separately.
