Freeduino Motor Shield

Motor Shield for Arduino/Freeduino board.

Can be also used for Sanguino / Arduino (with female connectors) boards using tinned loose wires or relimates

*** Motor Shield doesnt work with ATMEGA 8 boards as it uses the PWM pins which are found on ATMEGA 168 and ATMEGA 328.

• It has female connectors soldered at the bottom. 
• 2 connections for 5V 'hobby' servos connected to the Atmega's high-resolution dedicated timer - no jitter!
• 4 H-Bridges: L293D chipset provides 0.6A per bridge (1.2A peak) with thermal shutdown protection, internal kickback protection diodes. Can run motors on 4.5VDC to 36VDC.
• Up to 4 bi-directional DC motors with individual 8-bit speed selection (so, about 0.5% resolution)
• Up to 2 stepper motors (unipolar or bipolar) with single coil, double coil or interleaved stepping.
• Terminal block and jumper to connect external power, for seperate logic/motor supplies

Possible motor running combinations

Run 2 Servo motors + 4 DC motors simultaneously

OR

Run 2 Servo motors + 2 Stepper motors simultaneously

OR

Run 2 Servo motors simultaneously

OR

Run 4 DC Motors simultaneously

OR

Run 2 Stepper motor simultaneously
