Description

  • Motoron M2S24v16 Dual High-Power Motor Controller Shield Kit for Arduino with unsoldered Connectors
  • Manages two high-power DC motors with an Arduino
  • Accommodates motor supply voltages from 6.5V to 40V
  • Delivers continuous output currents up to 16A per motor
  • Includes a range of header pin and terminal block options

The Motoron M2S24v16 Dual High-Power Motor Controller Shield Kit for Arduino w/ Connectors is engineered to manage two high-power DC motors from an Arduino or a board compatible with Arduino through an I²C interface. It accommodates motor supply voltages ranging from 6.5 V to 40 V and can deliver continuous output currents up to 16 A for each motor. This model is accompanied by 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 simplifies the process of independently controlling two bidirectional, brushed DC motors with an Arduino or a compatible board. Unlike most motor drivers and motor driver shields, the Motoron does not necessitate any PWM outputs or timers on your Arduino. Instead, the Arduino communicates with the Motoron using I²C, thus only requiring two I/O lines.

The M2S24v16 shield is compatible with motor supply voltages from 6.5 V to 40 V and can deliver continuous output currents up to 16 A per motor. This shield is distinguishable from other M2S shields by its larger discrete MOSFETs and the number 100 on top of the tall silver electrolytic capacitors.

This model is a kit that includes, but does not pre-solder, the following connectors: Two 1x8 stackable female headers, one 1x6 stackable female headers, three 2-pin 5mm screw terminal blocks, two 1x20 male headers. This board is also available with connectors pre-soldered, or as a standalone board without connectors.

The Motoron M2S24v16 Dual High-Power Motor Controller Shield boasts features and specifications such as 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 3.0 V to 5 V, control interface: I²C clock speed: up to 400 kHz, configurable motion parameters, current sensing, configurable hardware current limiting, command timeout feature, configurable automatic error response, motor power supply (VIN) voltage measurement, two status LEDs, and motor direction indicator LEDs.

The Motoron Arduino library simplifies the process of using the Motoron with an Arduino or a compatible controller. The MOSFETs can handle large current spikes for short durations, and the driver’s current chopping will keep the average current under the set limit. The actual current you can deliver will depend on how well you can keep the motor driver cool. The driver’s printed circuit board is designed to draw heat out of the MOSFETs, but performance can be improved by adding a heat sink or air flow.

For high-current installations, it is recommended to solder the motor and power supply wires directly instead of going through the 5mm blue terminal blocks, which are rated for up to 16 A.
