Cytron SHIELD-MD10 – 10A 7V–30V DC Motor Driver Shield for Arduino

The Cytron SHIELD-MD10 is a high-performance 10A DC motor driver shield designed for Arduino and compatible development boards. Built specifically for brushed DC motors, it supports 7V–30V motor voltage and delivers up to 10A continuous current, making it ideal for robotics, automation, RC systems, DIY machines, and educational electronics.

With solid-state MOSFETs and a fully NMOS H-Bridge design, the Cytron SHIELD-MD10 ensures efficient, fast, and reliable motor control without the need for a heatsink, helping creators achieve accurate speed and direction control with minimal wiring.

Optimized for maximum compatibility, the shield stacks directly onto popular boards like Arduino UNO R3, Arduino Mega 2560, Maker UNO, Maker UNO Plus, Arduino Leonardo, CT-UNO, and CT-ARM. Featuring selectable digital pins for PWM and DIR, stackable headers, and regenerative braking, the Cytron SHIELD-MD10 offers unmatched flexibility for robotics and mechatronics projects.

Whether you’re building a DIY robot, conveyor system, or motorized prototype, this durable and high-current driver shield delivers smooth performance and long-lasting reliability.

Features:

• Bi-directional control for one brushed DC motor with smooth speed and direction adjustment.
• Supports motor voltage from 7V–25V (Rev 1.0) and 7V–30V (Rev 2.0).
• Delivers 10A continuous and 15A peak current for high-torque applications.
• Uses fully solid-state components with NMOS H-Bridge for high efficiency.
• No heatsink required thanks to low-loss MOSFET design.
• Supports both 3.3V and 5V logic inputs, making it compatible with multiple controllers.
• Regenerative braking for safe and controlled stopping.
• Stackable pin headers allow adding more Arduino shields.
• Selectable digital pins for PWM and direction via jumpers.
• PWM frequency supported up to 10 kHz for fine speed control.
