ROBOT.HEAD to TOE Product User’s Manual - SHIELD-3AMOTOR 1. INTRODUCTION Cytron 3A Motor Driver Shield (Code: SHIELD-3AMOTOR) is an Arduino shield for controlling dual DC motor up to 3A for each channel. This product is improvement from our previous Cytron 2A Motor Driver Shield. It is compatible with most of Arduino boards like Uno, Leonardo, Mega, Due, Zero, 101 and possibly other pin compatible main boards like CIKU, CT UNO and CT ARM.

ROBOT.HEAD to TOE Product User’s Manual - SHIELD-3AMOTOR 5. POWER SUPPLY SHIELD-3AMOTOR supports battery with input voltage ranges from 7V to 30V. For voltage more than 12V, Vin and PWRIN must be supply with different source and this connection (please refer to the pictures below) must be cut. NOTE Left and right photos shows the PWRIN–Vin connection before and after cut. PWRIN comes from SHIELD-3AMOTOR power connector, while Vin is from Arduino adapter.
