This shield will make quick work of your next robotics\r\nproject! We kept the ability to drive up to 4 DC motors or 2 stepper motors,\r\nbut added many improvements: Lots of other little improvements such as a\r\npolarity protection FET on the power pins and a bit of prototyping area. And\r\nthe shield is assembled and tested here at Adafruit so all you have to do is\r\nsolder on straight or stacking headers and the terminal blocks. Lets check out\r\nthese specs again: 2 connections for 5V 'hobby' servos connected to the\r\nArduino's high-resolution dedicated timer - no jitter! 4 H-Bridges: TB6612\r\nchipset provides 1.2A per bridge (3A peak) with thermal shutdown protection,\r\ninternal kickback protection diodes. Can run motors on 4.5VDC to 13.5VDC. Up\r\nto 4 bi-directional DC motors with individual 8-bit speed selection (so, about\r\n0.5% resolution) Up to 2 stepper motors (unipolar or bipolar) with single\r\ncoil, double coil, interleaved or micro-stepping. Motors automatically\r\ndisabled on power-up Big terminal block connectors to easily hook up wires\r\n(18-26AWG) and power Arduino reset button brought up top Polarity protected\r\n2-pin terminal block and jumper to connect external power, for separate\r\nlogic\/motor supplies Tested compatible with Arduino UNO, Leonardo, ADK\/Mega\r\nR3, Due, Diecimila \u0026amp; Duemilanove. Works with Mega\/ADK R2 and earlier with 2\r\nwire jumpers. Download the easy-to-use Arduino software library, check out the\r\nexamples and you're ready to go! New! As of 3\/21\/2014 we are shipping motor\r\nshields with the terminal blocks, and power jumper pre-soldered on. You'll\r\nstill need to do a little soldering to put on the shield-headers (or stacking\r\nheaders) but it should be even easier and faster to get started!\u003c\/p\u003e \r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n \u003cul class=\"a\"\u003e\r\n \u003cli\u003eNew version 2.3!\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \u003cli\u003eCompletely stackable design: 5 address-select pins means up to 32 stackable shields: that's 64 steppers or 128 DC motors!

Only two pins (SDA \u0026amp; SCL) are required to drive the multiple motors, and since it's I2C you can also connect any other I2C devices or shields to the same pins.
