Dual Monster Moto Shield VNH3ASP30 - DC Motor Driver, 2x14A (Peak 30A)

The Dual Monster Moto Shield VNH3ASP30 DC Motor Driver is an upgraded version of the Ardumoto motor driver shield, featuring a pair of VNH3ASP30 full-bridge motor drivers instead of the L298 H-bridge. This enhancement allows the shield to drive a pair of high-current motors with ease.

  Key Features:  

• High Current Handling: Capable of driving a pair of high-current motors with a peak current of 30A and continuous current of 14A per channel.
• Enhanced Support Circuitry: Beefed-up support circuitry enables efficient operation and provides better control over connected motors.
• Screw Terminal Connectivity: VIN and motor out are pitched for 5mm screw terminals (not included), facilitating easy connection of larger gauge wires.
• Full-Bridge Motor Drivers: Utilizes VNH3ASP30 full-bridge motor drivers, incorporating a dual monolithic high-side driver and two low-side switches for each channel.
• Current Sensing: The current sensing feature allows the monitoring of motor current via an Arduino analog pin.
• Thermal and Voltage Protection: Equipped with thermal shutdown, undervoltage, and overvoltage protection mechanisms for enhanced safety.
• Maximum PWM Frequency: Supports PWM frequencies up to 20 kHz for smooth motor control.
• LED Indicator: Includes LED indicators for visual feedback on the operating status.
• Compact Design: Compact dimensions of 60 x 54 x 12mm and lightweight construction for easy integration into motor control projects.
