- Includes a range of header pin and terminal block options
The Motoron M2S18v18 Dual High-Power Motor Controller Shield Kit for Arduino w/ Connectors is designed to facilitate the effortless control of two high-power DC motors from an Arduino or Arduino-compatible board via an IC interface. It is compatible with motor supply voltages ranging from 6.5V to 30V and can deliver continuous output currents of up to 18A per motor. This particular model comes with a range of header pin and terminal block options, which are included but not pre-soldered.
The Motoron M2S series of dual high-power motor controller shields enables independent control of two bidirectional, brushed DC motors with an Arduino or compatible board. Unlike many motor drivers and motor driver shields, the Motoron does not necessitate any PWM outputs or timers on the Arduino. Instead, the Arduino communicates with the Motoron via IC, requiring only two I/O lines.
The M2S18v18 shield is compatible with motor supply voltages from 6.5V to 30V and can deliver continuous output currents of up to 18A per motor. This shield can be identified from other M2S shields by its smaller discrete MOSFETs and the number 150 on top of the tall silver electrolytic capacitors.
This model is a kit that includes but does not pre-solder the following connectors: Two 1×8 stackable female headers, One 1×6 stackable female headers, three 2-pin 5mm screw terminal blocks, two 1×20 male headers. The terminal blocks on the Motoron M2S high-power motor drivers are taller than the headers, so they should only be installed on the top Motoron in the stack. The 5mm blue terminal blocks are rated for up to 16A, so for higher-current applications, it is recommended to solder thick wires directly to the board.
The Motoron M2S18v18 Dual High-Power Motor Controller Shield Kit for Arduino boasts two motor control channels for independent control of up to two bidirectional brushed DC motors, reverse-voltage protection on motor power supply, a logic voltage range of 3.0V to 5V, a control interface: IC clock speed of up to 400kHz, configurable motion parameters, current sensing, configurable hardware current limiting, a command timeout feature, configurable automatic error response, motor power supply (VIN) voltage measurement, two status LEDs, and motor direction indicator LEDs. It also includes a Motoron Arduino library and a comprehensive users guide.
Please note: The terminal blocks on the Motoron M2S high-power motor drivers are taller than the headers, so they should only be installed on the top Motoron in the stack. The 5mm blue terminal blocks are rated for up to 16A, so for higher-current applications, it is recommended to solder thick wires directly to the board.
