Monster Moto Shield VNH2SP30 Motor Driver 14A (Peak 30A)

Monster Moto Shield VNH2SP30 Motor Driver is essentially a ramped-up version of our Ardumoto motor driver shield. For this Monster Moto Shield, we’ve replaced the L298 H-bridge with a pair of VNH2SP30 full-bridge motor drivers. We’ve also beefed up the support circuitry so this board is capable of driving a pair of high-current motors! Perfect for robust motor control, the Monster Moto Shield easily interfaces with compatible motor driver shields and is excellent for applications like robotics and custom electronics. The Monster Moto Shield VNH2SP30, with its high peak current management, makes it ideal for handling demanding motor shield driver tasks.
