About this product
A high-current dual DC motor driver shield for Arduino, built around two VNH2SP30 full-bridge drivers instead of the L298 used on the earlier Ardumoto shield. It is designed to drive a pair of high-current motors, with 5 mm screw-terminal pitch for the VIN and motor connections. For very demanding loads, the listing recommends a heat sink or fan.

Frequently asked questions
Which boards is it compatible with?
It is built as an Arduino shield, so it fits boards that use the standard Uno-style header layout. Check your board's header layout before connecting it.
Does it need extra cooling?
For normal loads it may not, but the listing advises adding a heat sink or fan in extreme high-demand applications. It also suggests soldering the wires directly to the board instead of using screw terminals in those cases.
