Description:
This is essentially a ramped up version of our Ardumoto motor driver shield. For this monster shield weve replaced the L298 H-bridge with a pair of VNH2SP30 full-bridge motor drivers. Weve also beefed up the support circuitry so this board is capable of driving a pair of high-current motors! The VIN and motor out are pitched for our 5mm screw terminals (not included), making it easy to connect larger gauge wires.
Note: When using this board in extreme high-demand applications it may be necessary to improve thermal performance with a heat-sink or fan and to solder the wires directly to the board instead of using a screw terminal (in addition to the myriad other complications present in a high-current system) However, when using the board at currents up to 6A the chips will barely become noticeably warm
This is a high power dc motor driver based on VNH2SP30 chip from ST. It is designed for high power dc motor control applications. It can drive two DC motors with peak current up to 30A and continuous current of 14A for each.
The module is easy to use with arduino or any other microcontroller. The motor driver also have thermal shutdown capability for protection of overheating, it also have current sensing and overvoltage protection.
