Motor Shield R3 for Arduino (L298P Dual H-Bridge)

The Motor Shield R3 is an Arduino-compatible driver board powered by the L298P dual H-bridge chip. It is designed for students, makers, and robotics hobbyists seeking straightforward motor integration for robotic vehicles and mechanical projects. The board provides flexible control for two DC motors or a single stepper motor directly from an Arduino.

Dual motor drive support

The shield can control either two independent DC motors or one stepper motor. This makes it suitable for standard two-wheel drive chassis or precision positioning mechanisms.

High-power output per channel

Powered by the L298P dual full-bridge driver, the board delivers up to 2A per channel. This provides sufficient drive capacity for a wide range of hobby and robotics motors.

PWM speed regulation

The shield supports pulse-width modulation (PWM) inputs to govern motor speed. This allows for precise velocity control alongside directional switching from your Arduino sketch.

Integrated current sensing

Onboard current sensing capabilities allow your Arduino to monitor the power draw of connected motors. This facilitates load detection, stall monitoring, and diagnostic feedback in real time.
