Adafruit Motor/Stepper/Servo Shield for Arduino v2.3 Kit

The Adafruit Motor/Stepper/Servo Shield for Arduino v2.3 Kit is a versatile and user-friendly expansion board designed to simplify motor control in Arduino-based projects. Whether you’re building a robot, a CNC machine, or a motorized art installation, this shield offers an efficient and scalable solution.

🔧 Key Features

• Motor Control Capabilities:

  • Drive up to 4 bi-directional DC motors with 8-bit speed control (approximately 0.5% resolution).

  • Control 2 stepper motors (unipolar or bipolar) with various stepping modes, including single coil, double coil, interleaved, or microstepping.

  • Operate 2 hobby servos using Arduino’s dedicated high-resolution timer, ensuring smooth and jitter-free performance. electrokit.com+4shop.pimoroni.com+4adafruit.com+4adafruit.com+1shop.pimoroni.com+1

• Enhanced Driver ICs:

  • Utilizes TB6612 H-Bridge drivers, each capable of delivering 1.2A continuous current (3A peak) with thermal shutdown and internal kickback protection diodes.

  • Supports motor voltages ranging from 4.5V to 13.5V, suitable for a wide array of motors. core-electronics.com.au+2adafruit.com+2shop.pimoroni.com+2

• Stackable Design:

  • Features 5 address-select pins, enabling up to 32 shields to be stacked, allowing control of up to 128 DC motors or 64 stepper motors in a single setup.

• Power Management:

  • Includes a polarity-protected terminal block and jumper for connecting external power, supporting separate logic and motor supplies.

  • Equipped with a reset button and large terminal block connectors for easy wiring of 18–26 AWG wires.

• Assembly and Compatibility:

  • The kit comes with an assembled and tested shield, terminal block, plain header, and jumper. Some soldering is required to assemble the
