The Arduino™ motor shield is based on the L298, enabling the user to control inductive loads such as relays, solenoids, DC motors and stepper motors.
You can use the Arduino™ shield to control 2 DC motors or 1 stepper motor independently of each other.
You can also measure each motor's power consumption and perform many other functions.
