L298P Motor Driver Shield

This is a motor shield for Arduino that can control two DC motors. Based on the L298P, the motor driver shield can drive up to 2 amps per channel. The board takes its power from the same Vin line as the Arduino board, includes blue and yellow LEDs to indicate active direction, and all driver lines are diode protected from back EMF. The new version of this shield allows for either 3.3 or 5v logic, a separate and more robust VIN connection, and the PWM input has moved to pin 3. Control for motor attached to OUT1/2 is connected to digital line 12 (direction A) and digital line 3 (PWM A). Control for motor attached to OUT3/4 is connected to digital line 13 (direction B) and digital line 11 (PWM B).

Features:
A convenient motor interface can be divided into two motor outputs.
Forward and Backward steering are indicators.
Extra Soldering Points for Prototyping.
Maximum Supply Voltage: 18V
