Cytron 10A Motor Driver Shield (Arduino)"SHIELD-MD10" is a compatible Arduino motor shield for controlling high current brushed DC motor up to 10A continuously. It should be stacked on to an Arduino main controller board such as Arduino UNO R3. It is compatible with:
This Motor Driver shield uses full solid-state components which results in faster response time and eliminates the wear and tear of the mechanical relay. It has stackable side headers which allow for more Arduino shields to be stacked on top of it. Each shield comes with two mini jumpers for you to select different digital pins for PWM (speed) and DIR (direction), so you can actually stack more shields together.
Note: Starting from July 2015, all Cytron 10A Motor Driver Shield (Shield-MD10) shipped from Cytron are Rev2.0. There is an improvement made. The label changes at the front and back of the shield alike shown in the figure.
