Cytron SHIELD-3AMOTOR 1.2A Dual Channel 7V–30V DC Motor Driver Shield for Arduino The Cytron SHIELD-3AMOTOR is a high-performance, dual-channel DC motor driver shield designed for Arduino users who need reliable and efficient motor control. Supporting motor voltages from 7V to 30V and delivering up to 3A peak and 1.2A continuous current per channel, this shield is ideal for robotics, automation, DIY RC vehicles, and mechatronics projects. Its compatibility with Arduino UNO, Mega, Leonardo, Zero, 101, and other popular boards makes it a plug-and-play solution for both beginners and advanced makers searching for powerful motor-driving capabilities. Built using the DRV8871 motor driver IC, the Cytron SHIELD-3AMOTOR supports both Signed Magnitude and Locked Anti-Phase control modes via an easy DIP switch selector. Additional features such as current limit protection, stackable headers, quick-test pushbuttons, and direct connectors for the LSS05 auto-calibrating line sensor make this shield perfect for building reliable robot platforms, line-followers, and dual-motor systems. With strong motor handling and seamless Arduino integration, this Cytron shield makes high-current motor control simple, safe, and efficient. Features: Dual-channel brushed DC motor driver shield designed for full Arduino compatibility. Supports 7V–30V motor voltage, suitable for a wide range of DC motors. Handles 3A peak and 1.2A continuous current per channel, ideal for medium-power robotic applications. Built-in current limit protection for safer motor operation. Compatible with 3.3V and 5V logic input, supporting various Arduino boards. DRV8871 IC ensures smooth, efficient, and reliable motor control. Selectable control modes: Signed Magnitude and Locked Anti-Phase via DIP switches. Stackable header pins for easy integration with additional shields. Quick-test switches provided for rapid motor testing on both channels. Includes dedicated connector for Cytron LSS05 Line Sensor, ideal for line-following robots. (Note: No polarity protection for motor supply input - connect with care.)
