3.c. Shield Connections
Dual VNH5019 motor driver shield with an Arduino (shield and Arduino powered separately).
All of the necessary logic connections between the Arduino and the motor driver shield are made
automatically when the shield is plugged into the Arduino. However, the shield’s power connections
must be made directly to the shield itself via its large VIN and GND pads. The picture above shows
the typical connections involved in using this board as an Arduino shield.
Default Arduino Pin Mappings
The following table shows how the shield connects your Arduino’s pins to the motor drivers’ pins:
