{"title":"SparkFun Ardumoto - Motor Driver Shield","handle":"sparkfun-ardumoto-motor-driver-shield","url":"/products/sparkfun-ardumoto-motor-driver-shield","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.\n\nThe 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.\n\nKey Features\n\n\nL298 H-Bridge Driver – Two independent channels for driving up to two DC motors\n\n2A Per Channel – Delivers up to 2A per motor (depends on power source)\n\nDirection Indicator LEDs – Blue and yellow LEDs show active motor direction\n\nBack EMF Protection – All driver lines are diode-protected\n\nArduino Shield Form Factor – Plugs directly into Arduino boards\n\n\nIdeal For\n\nTwo-wheel-drive robot platforms\nRC vehicle control\nSmall autonomous robots\n\n\n\nNote: Screw terminals and stackable headers are not included and must be purchased separately.\n\n\nResources\n\nHookup Guide\nSchematic (PDF)\nEagle Files\nL298 Datasheet (PDF)\n","vendor":"SparkFun","product_type":"physical","in_stock":true,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":10314,"title":"Default Title","sku":"SF-DEV-14129","price":51.0,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":true,"available_quantity":91,"option1":"Default Title"}],"documents":[{"title":"SparkFun Ardumoto v2.0 Schematic","type":"schematic","type_label":"Schematic","url":"https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDogEBSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--165742bacc8140e8886d48c1babc7817c6a0e358/SparkFun_Ardumoto_v20.pdf","link":false,"file_extension":"PDF","file_size":159468,"description":"Circuit schematic for the SparkFun Ardumoto motor driver shield."},{"title":"L298N Motor Driver Datasheet","type":"datasheet","type_label":"Datasheet","url":"https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDowEBSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--3fead86731a3acec308063ebd7a11b8de5979c6c/Full-Bridge_Motor_Driver_Dual_-_L298N.pdf","link":false,"file_extension":"PDF","file_size":611634,"description":"Manufacturer datasheet for the L298N dual full-bridge motor driver IC used on the shield."},{"title":"SparkFun Ardumoto Eagle Files","type":"schematic","type_label":"Schematic","url":"https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDpAEBSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--f74829ebe76fb0ddecad1dd49cbe678fa7cedd02/SparkFun_Ardumoto_v20.zip","link":false,"file_extension":"ZIP","file_size":172420,"description":"Eagle PCB design files for the SparkFun Ardumoto motor driver shield."},{"title":"L298 H-Bridge Datasheet","type":"datasheet","type_label":"Datasheet","url":"https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDpgEBSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--f9fd8c75232488d03af1b845230793338498d7ce/L298_H_Bridge.pdf","link":false,"file_extension":"PDF","file_size":611634,"description":"Additional datasheet for the L298 H-bridge motor driver IC used on the shield."}]}
