Overview

This L298P dual motor driver shield uses a high power motor driver chip L298P to drive 2 DC motors and drive current up to 2A. The motor output uses 8 high-speed Schottky diode as a protection and can be directly inserted to your Arduino projects.

The product is compatible with Arduino development board and uses D10 - D13 digital pins. The module also contains a buzzer connected to terminal D4.

The module is recommended for beginners and can be used to control two motors simultaneously or a single stepper motor. The driver can control small to medium power motors, supporting a maximum of 2A. Shield offers many additional connections and contains diodes to protect the driver.
