Motoron M2S18v20 Dual High-Power Motor Controller Shield Kit for Arduino

• Motoron M2S18v20 Dual High-Power Motor Controller Shield Kit for Arduino
• Effortlessly controls two high-power DC motors via an I²C interface
• Compatible with motor supply voltages from 6.5V to 30V
• Delivers continuous output currents of up to 20A per motor
• Includes a variety of unsoldered header pin and terminal block options

The Motoron M2S18v20 Dual High-Power Motor Controller Shield Kit for Arduino is engineered to facilitate the effortless control of two high-power DC motors from an Arduino or a board compatible with Arduino via an I²C interface. It is compatible with motor supply voltages ranging from 6.5 V to 30 V and can deliver continuous output currents of up to 20 A for each motor. This model includes a variety of header pin and terminal block options, which are provided 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 a board compatible with Arduino. In contrast to most 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 I²C, requiring only two I/O lines.

The M2S18v20 shield is compatible with motor supply voltages ranging from 6.5 V to 30 V and can deliver continuous output currents of up to 20 A per motor. This shield can be identified from other M2S shields by its larger discrete MOSFETs and the number 150 on the tall silver electrolytic capacitors.

This model is a kit that includes the following connectors, which are provided but not pre-soldered: two 1x8 stackable female headers, one 1x6 stackable female headers, three 2-pin 5mm screw terminal blocks, and two 1x20 male headers.

Please note that 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 16 A, so for higher-current applications, it is recommended to purchase an unsoldered version and then solder thick wires directly to the board. The included terminal blocks are taller than the headers, so a Motoron M2S shield assembled with 5mm terminal blocks is intended to be used as a standalone board or at the top of a shield stack.
