Working Principle

Description

The Cytron 2Amp Motor Driver Shield uses the L298P chip to control two 5 – 26V DC brush motors with a maximum current of 2A each channel. Speed control is achieved through conventional PWM signals from Arduino's PWM output pins 5 and 6. The enable/disable of the motor driver is controlled by Arduino pins 4 and 7, with the option to configure it as Signed magnitude control or Locked Anti-phase.

Sensor Types

LSS05 - Auto-Calibrating Line Sensor
