ROBOT . HEAD to TOE Product User’s Manual – SHIELDMD10 6.0 HARDWARE INSTALLATION This section shows the example of using SHIELDMD10 with Arduino UNO as the main controller to control a brush motor. However, other Arduino main board such as Arduino Duemilanove and Arduino Mega can also be used. Figure below shows that the SHIELDMD10 is stacked on the Arduino UNO. Please ensure that the pins alignment is correct. Select the pins for PWM and DIR.
ROBOT . HEAD to TOE Product User’s Manual – SHIELDMD10 Don’t forget about the power source for the Arduino main board too. Power up the Arduino main board and load the sketch/program first before powering up the SHIELDMD10 motor driver shield. Example source code can be downloaded from the SHIELDMD10 product page at Cytron website. Created by Cytron Technologies Sdn. Bhd.
