Cytron 10Amp 7V-30V Dual Channel DC Motor Driver Shield for Arduino
The Cytron 10Amp 7V-30V Dual Channel DC Motor Driver Shield for Arduino is a powerful and versatile Cytron motor driver designed to simplify motor control in robotics and automation projects.
As a 10A motor driver Arduino shield, it supports dual channel output for controlling two brushed DC motors or a single bipolar/unipolar stepper motor within a 7V to 30V range. The discrete NMOS H-Bridge design ensures reliable performance with up to 10A continuous current per channel without requiring additional heatsinks.
Ideal for building mobile robots, the dual channel motor driver features onboard test buttons and LEDs for quick diagnostics, and a built-in 5V buck regulator to power your Arduino board directly. With configurable PWM and DIR inputs via jumpers, it offers flexible pin assignments to suit various Arduino applications.
Advanced protection mechanisms like overcurrent and thermal protection safeguard the board, making the SHIELD-MDD10 an efficient and durable solution for high-power motor control.
Note: Power input does not have reverse-voltage protection. Connecting the battery in reverse polarity will damage the motor driver instantaneously.
