It comes pre-assembled with terminal blocks and power jumpers for quick setup and supports a wide range of Arduino boards, making it the go-to solution for advanced robotics and automation enthusiasts. ## Description We have upgraded the shield kit to make the bestest, easiest way to drive DC and Stepper motors. This shield will make quick work of your next robotics project! We kept the ability to drive up to 4 DC motors or 2 stepper motors, but added many improvements: Lots of other little improvements such as a polarity protection FET on the power pins and a bit of prototyping area. And the shield is assembled and tested here at Adafruit so all you have to do is solder on straight or stacking headers and the terminal blocks. Lets check out these specs again: 2 connections for 5V 'hobby' servos connected to the Arduino's high-resolution dedicated timer - no jitter! 4 H-Bridges: TB6612 chipset provides 1.2A per bridge (3A peak) with thermal shutdown protection, internal kickback protection diodes. Can run motors on 4.5VDC to 13.5VDC. Up to 4 bi-directional DC motors with individual 8-bit speed selection (so, about 0.5% resolution) Up to 2 stepper motors (unipolar or bipolar) with single coil, double coil, interleaved or micro-stepping. Motors automatically disabled on power-up Big terminal block connectors to easily hook up wires (18-26AWG) and power Arduino reset button brought up top Polarity protected 2-pin terminal block and jumper to connect external power, for separate logic/motor supplies Tested compatible with Arduino UNO, Leonardo, ADK/Mega R3, Due, Diecimila & Duemilanove. Works with Mega/ADK R2 and earlier with 2 wire jumpers. Download the easy-to-use Arduino software library, check out the examples and you're ready to go! New! As of 3/21/2014 we are shipping motor shields with the terminal blocks, and power jumper pre-soldered on. You'll still need to do a little soldering to put on the shield-headers (or stacking headers) but it should be even easier and faster to get started! ## Features - New version 2.3! - Completely stackable design: 5 address-select pins means up to 32 stackable shields: that's 64 steppers or 128 DC motors! What on earth could you do with that many steppers? I have no idea but if you come up with something send us a photo because that would be a pretty glorious project. - Instead of a L293D darlington driver, we now have the TB6612 MOSFET driver: with 1.2A per channel and 3A peak current capability. It also has much lower voltage drops across the motor so you get more torque out of your batteries, and there are built-in flyback diodes as well. - Instead of using a latch and the Arduino's PWM pins, we have a fully-dedicated PWM driver chip onboard. This chip handles all the motor and speed controls over I2C. Only two pins (SDA & 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. This also makes it drop-in compatible with any Arduino, such as the Uno, Due, Leonardo and Mega R3. - As of 3/21/2014 we are shipping motor shields with the terminal blocks, and power jumper pre-soldered on. You'll still need to do a little soldering to put on the shield-headers (or stacking headers) but it should be even easier and faster to get started! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00PUTH3B0 | | Best Sellers Rank | #9,550 in Computer Internal Components | | Brand | Adafruit | | CPU Manufacturer | Atmel | | Compatible Devices | Arduino UNO, Leonardo, ADK/Mega R3, Due, Diecimila, Duemilanove, Mega/ADK R2 | | Connectivity Technology | Infrared | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 226 Reviews | | Item Weight | 0.01 Ounces | | Manufacturer | Adafruit | | Mfr Part Number | 1438 | | Model Name | v2.3 | | Model Number | 1438 | | Operating System | Arduino IDE | | Processor Brand | Atmel | | Processor Count | 1 | | RAM Memory Technology | SRAM | | Total Usb Ports | 1 | | UPC | 702658303396 | | Wireless Communication Standard | Infrared | | Wireless Compability | Infrared | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Adafruit - **CPU Manufacturer:** Atmel - **Connectivity Technology:** Infrared - **Model Name:** v2.3 - **Operating System:** Arduino IDE ## Images ![Adafruit Motor/Stepper/Servo Shield for Arduino v2.3 Kit - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71pX0F3XwYL.jpg) ![Adafruit Motor/Stepper/Servo Shield for Arduino v2.3 Kit - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71OHUIkbGxL.jpg) ![Adafruit Motor/Stepper/Servo Shield for Arduino v2.3 Kit - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/714YwOo+BUL.jpg) ![Adafruit Motor/Stepper/Servo Shield for Arduino v2.3 Kit - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61wtHK6oV8L.jpg) ![Adafruit Motor/Stepper/Servo Shield for Arduino v2.3 Kit - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61M0ObTc-dL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by D***E on March 25, 2017* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by P***N on July 3, 2019* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by N***K on November 28, 2016* --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/24132169-adafruit-motor-stepper-servo-shield-for-arduino-v2-3-kit](https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/24132169-adafruit-motor-stepper-servo-shield-for-arduino-v2-3-kit) --- *Product available on Desertcart Panama* *Store origin: PA* *Last updated: 2026-08-12*
