The Arduino / Freeduino SB is an excellent development platform,
andpart of its appeal is the use of shield boards.
These plug onto the top of your Arduino / Freeduino SB, and make it
really easy to add functionality.
This shield has a very complete feature set, supporting servos, DC
motors and stepper motors.
Here are the full details:
- Supports
two 5V hobby servos with jitterless high-resolution dedicated timer
- 4
H-bridges housed in a pair of well-proven L293D motor driver ICs
- 600mA
per H-bridge
- 4.5 to 36VDC motor supply voltage
supported
- Run up to 4 motors, bi-directionally!
(Backwards and forwards)
- 8-bit,
256-levels of DC motor speed control
- Run
up to 2 stepper motors (unipolar or bipolar). Supports single/double
coil & interleaved stepping
- Pull-down
resistors for motor logic inputs (keeps it from turning on during
power-up)
- Terminal block connectors for beefy
10-11AWG wire to motors and external power
- Reset button (which is usually a
problem for shields that cover the reset button)
- Prebuilt Arduino software
libraries ready to use!
- External power connections are separated logic and motor
power.
- Arduino pins 14 through 20 are fully available (all analog
input pins).
- Digital pin 11: DC #1 / Stepper #1
- Digital pin 3: DC #2 / Stepper #1
- Digital pin 5: DC #3 / Stepper #2
- Digital pin 6: DC #4 / Stepper #2
- Digital pin 4, 7, 8 & 12 used to drive
DC/Steppers via latch
- Digital pin 9: Servo #1 control
- Digital pin 10: Servo #2 control
It's really the most
convenient way to drive motors with an Arduino / Freeduino SB!
Note: Shown Arduino, motors, and accessories are not
included.
