Description
You can control the motor driver with PWM and DIR inputs. The Arduino pins for these inputs are configurable via jumpers. If the specified pins on Arduino are already used up by other application/shield, you can select another pin easily with the jumper.
There is also a possibility to quickly and conveniently test the functionality of the motor driver with the onboard test buttons and output LEDs. Buck regulator which produces 5 V output is also available to power the Arduino mainboard, which eliminates the need of extra power supply for the Arduino mainboard.
The board also offers various protection features. Overcurrent protection prevents the motor driver from damage when the motor stalls or an oversized motor is hooked up. When the motor is trying to draw current more than what the motor driver can support, the motor current will be limited at the maximum threshold.
Assisted by temperature protection, the maximum current limiting threshold is determined by the board temperature. The higher the board temperature, the lower the current limiting threshold. As a result, the motor driver delivers its full potential depending on the current conditions without damaging any MOSFETs.
