DFRobot DRI0009 Motor Shield for Arduino, 2A

hi this is nick from banana robotics today we're going to take a quick look at this df robot 2 amp motor driver shield this shield features an l298p h bridge chip which is used as a motor driver as you can see all of the arduino pins are available as pass through from these headers except of course the four pins which are used to control the motors in this case pins four five six and 7 are used to control the motors unfortunately it's hard coded and you can't change which pins are used for the motors as you can see here i have this motor driver shield attached on top of a df robot df arduino micro controller but it could just as easily attach to a genuine arduino uno or other arduino family controllers now it is a 5 volt board so that is the one requirement from the adreno family the df robot two ab motor driver shield is fairly easy to use it only requires two pins per motor the pins a
