About this product
A stackable Arduino shield built around the L298P dual H-bridge driver, able to drive two DC motors at up to 2 A. Its motor outputs use eight high-speed Schottky diodes for protection, and it plugs directly onto Arduino headers. It suits robot chassis and small motor control projects.

Frequently asked questions
Which power input should I use for the motors?
The listing gives VIN as 6.5 V to 12 V and PWRIN as 4.8 V to 35 V for the drive part, while the logic runs from 5 V. Use one of these inputs and keep it within its range.
What control signals does it need?
Control inputs read high from 2.3 V to 5 V and low from -0.3 V to 1.5 V, so the 5 V logic outputs of an Arduino are compatible.
