Cytron SHIELD-3AMOTOR 1.2A Dual Channel 7V–30V DC Motor Driver Shield for Arduino

The Cytron SHIELD-3AMOTOR is a high-performance, dual-channel DC motor driver shield designed for Arduino users who need reliable and efficient motor control. Supporting motor voltages from 7V to 30V and delivering up to 3A peak and 1.2A continuous current per channel, this shield is ideal for robotics, automation, DIY RC vehicles, and mechatronics projects.

Its compatibility with Arduino UNO, Mega, Leonardo, Zero, 101, and other popular boards makes it a plug-and-play solution for both beginners and advanced makers searching for powerful motor-driving capabilities.

Built using the DRV8871 motor driver IC, the Cytron SHIELD-3AMOTOR supports both Signed Magnitude and Locked Anti-Phase control modes via an easy DIP switch selector. Additional features such as current limit protection, stackable headers, quick-test pushbuttons, and direct connectors for the LSS05 auto-calibrating line sensor make this shield perfect for building reliable robot platforms, line-followers, and dual-motor systems.

With strong motor handling and seamless Arduino integration, this Cytron shield makes high-current motor control simple, safe, and efficient.
