## Overview

The Arduino Motor Shield REV3 (A000079) is a compact, high-performance motor driver designed for professional and hobbyist robotics and automation projects. Featuring a dual H-bridge driver, it controls up to 4 DC motors or 2 stepper motors with 2A continuous current per channel and operates within a 14-18V voltage range. Fully compatible with Arduino boards and the Arduino IDE, it offers built-in thermal and overcurrent protection for safe, reliable operation. Ideal for rapid prototyping and complex motor control applications.

## Description

Range of electronic devices and free software (Open Source) with a reprogrammable microcontroller, ideal for developing electronic projects both professionally, but also for teaching or private individuals. It allows connecting different input and output components (E/S), an interface that allows to realize automation of systems and robotics, as well as control and power different devices. It can be programmed on Windows as well as macOSx and GNU / Linux. Specifications Controller board designed to drive inductive loads such as relays, solenoids, DC motors, and stepper motors. Assembled with the L298 chipset. Connected to an Arduino board, it allows you to control up to two DC motors, their direction and speed independently. Input voltage: 5V to 12V. Operating voltage 5V to 12V, 2A per channel or 4A max. (With external power supply). Terminals for connection ICSP (In Chip Serial Programmer), includes a reset button. Dimensions: 58 x 25 x 73 mm (width x height x depth). .

Review: Compatible with DCC-EX - Built my DCC-EX system, using this Arduino Motor Shield. Uploaded the software and everything worked perfectly. No problems, at all. I'd previously bought cheaper boards, which turned out to be incompatible (false economy). Wish I'd bought this one, to start with. Would've saved money and hassle. If friends are building a similar system, I'd direct them to this item.
Review: Top quality - Great quality motor shield which I have used to make a DCC command station. Works perfectly

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does the shield work with a clone arduino such as ieik ?**
A: Yes, it works with arduino UNO clones and compatibles like the ieik.

**Q: Will this work with the arduino mega?  do I need a 12 vdc power supply for a motor?**
A: Hi MikeM,

Yes, this motor shield is compatible with Arduino Mega.  These two modules will not generate 12VDC, so you'll need to supply it externally for the motors.

**Q: Can I plug in sensors into the pins on top and run them at the same time as the motors?**
A: The pins on top are connected to different signals.  IN2 = Analog 2, In3 = Analog 3, Out6 = Digital 6, Out5 = Digital 5, TWI in and TWI out are connected to the i2c bus (SCL, SDA, 5V and GND).  TWI is a bus, so multiple devices can share the same pins.  All these pins can be used while you drive the motors.

**Q: How does this compare with the adafruit v2.3 motor shield?**
A: Sorry but my experiences are limited to the Arduino line of producers.
