{"product_id":"motoron-m3s256-triple-motor-controller-shield-kit-for-arduino","title":"Motoron M3S256 Triple Motor Controller Shield Kit for Arduino","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Motoron M3S256 shield makes it easy to control up to three bidirectional, brushed DC motors with an Arduino or compatible board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt operates from 4.5 V to 48 V and can deliver continuous output currents up to 2 A per motor. Multiple Motoron controllers can be stacked on top of each other, allowing independent control of many motors. Unlike most of our motor drivers and motor driver shields, the Motoron does not require any PWM outputs or timers on your Arduino. Instead, the Arduino communicates with the Motoron using I²C, so only two I\/O lines are needed regardless of how many Motorons you connect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a kit that ships with the following connectors included but not soldered in:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne 1×10 stackable female header\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne 1×8 stackable female header\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour 2-pin 3.5mm terminal blocks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour 2-pin 5mm screw terminal blocks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne 1×25 breakaway male header (you can cut or break this into smaller header strips to install as desired)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are more parts included than can be soldered to the board, providing different assembly options to suit a variety of applications. Additional connector options are available separately, and you can also solder wires directly to the board for more compact installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e For applications where the Motoron will be used as a standalone board or at the \u003cstrong\u003etop\u003c\/strong\u003e of a shield stack, it can be assembled with the included 0.1″ male header pins and larger (5.0mm-pitch) blue terminal blocks. For applications where the Motoron will be one of the intermediate members of a stack of shields, we recommend assembling it with the stackable headers and smaller (3.5mm-pitch) green terminal blocks. The terminal blocks are intended to be soldered to the larger through-holes for the power and motor connections, and the blue ones should get locked together prior to installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures and specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree motor control channels allow for independent control of up to three bidirectional brushed DC motors per Motoron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWide operating voltage range: 4.5 V to 48 V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum output current per motor: 2.0 A continuous, 6.4 A peak for \u0026lt;1 second\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReverse-voltage protection on motor power supply (down to -40 V)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLogic voltage range: 2.8 V to 5.5 V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControl interface: I²C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI²C clock speed: up to 400 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptional cyclic redundancy checking (CRC)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConfigurable motion parameters:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMax acceleration\/deceleration forward\/reverse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStarting speed forward\/reverse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirection change delay forward\/reverse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePWM frequency: eight options available from 1 kHz to 80 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommand timeout feature stops motors if the Arduino stops functioning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConfigurable automatic error response\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMotor power supply (VIN) voltage measurement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptional pins make it easy to power the Arduino from reverse-protected motor power, either directly or through an external regulator (not included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo status LEDs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMotor direction indicator LEDs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/pololu\/motoron-arduino\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eMotoron Arduino library\u003c\/a\u003e simplifies getting started using the Motoron with an Arduino or compatible controller\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComprehensive \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.pololu.com\/docs\/0J84\" target=\"_blank\"\u003euser’s guide\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eGeneral specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChannels:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMotoron M3S256\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eControl interface:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eI²C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMinimum operating voltage:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.5 V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum operating voltage:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e48 V\u003cem\u003e\u003csup\u003e1\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eContinuous output current per channel:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.0 A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePeak output current per channel:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6.4 A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReverse voltage protection?:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eY\u003cem\u003e\u003csup\u003e2\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConnectors soldered?:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eN\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003csup\u003e1\u003c\/sup\u003e Not recommended for use with 48V batteries.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003csup\u003e2\u003c\/sup\u003e Note: Reverse voltage protection only works up to 40 V.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pololu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39954971033683,"sku":"POL-5031","price":38.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0174\/1800\/products\/0J11630.1200_2b463685-f3fe-49be-a69e-c47df82c1415.jpg?v=1652799170","url":"https:\/\/shop.pimoroni.com\/en-eu\/products\/motoron-m3s256-triple-motor-controller-shield-kit-for-arduino","provider":"Pimoroni Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
