The DFRobot 2×2A Motor Shield uses the L298P dual full-bridge driver chip to control two 4.8–35 V DC motors at up to 2 A per channel. It stacks directly onto Arduino Uno and Arduino Mega boards, using PWM pins 10 and 11 for speed control and digital pins 12 and 13 for enable/disable.

The shield can be powered from Arduino's VIN or via an external power terminal. External power is strongly recommended for reliable motor operation.
