Adafruit Motor/Stepper/Servo Shield for Arduino kit [v1.2]
Discontinued: This is the v1.2 Motor Shield. It has been superseded by the v2 shield with stacking support and higher-current motor drivers.
The Adafruit Motor/Stepper/Servo Shield v1.2 is an Arduino-compatible shield that drives up to 4 DC motors, 2 stepper motors, and 2 hobby servos from a single board. Based on the L293D H-Bridge chipset, it provides 0.6 A per bridge (1.2 A peak) with thermal shutdown and built-in kickback protection diodes.
Key Features
- 4× DC Motors – Bi-directional with individual 8-bit speed control
- 2× Stepper Motors – Unipolar or bipolar, single/double coil or interleaved stepping
- 2× Servo Connections – 5 V hobby servos on Arduino's dedicated timer (jitter-free)
- L293D H-Bridge – 0.6 A per bridge, 1.2 A peak, 4.5–25 V DC motor supply
- Pull-Down Resistors – Motors disabled during power-up for safety
- Separate Power Input – 2-pin terminal block with jumper for independent logic/motor supplies
- Large Terminal Blocks – Easy wire connection (18–26 AWG)
Compatibility
- Arduino UNO, Duemilanove, Diecimila, Mega 1280 & 2560
Package Contents
- 1× Motor/Stepper/Servo Shield v1.2 Kit (unassembled, all parts included)
Note: Motors and Arduino are not included. Kit requires soldering for assembly.
