Arduino Wiring

No additional logic wiring is required. The shield mounts directly onto the Arduino board. Only motors and external power connections are needed.

  • Motors → Connect to M1 – M4 terminal blocks
  • External Motor Power → Connect to EXT_PWR terminals
  • Servos (Optional) → Connect to Servo 1 / Servo 2 headers

Library Installation

Install the AFMotor library for simplified motor control:

  1. Open Arduino IDE → Sketch → Include Library → Manage Libraries
  2. Search for Adafruit Motor Shield Library
  3. Click Install

Sample Arduino Code


#include "AFMotor.h"

AF_DCMotor motor(4);

void setup() {
  motor.setSpeed(200);
  motor.run(RELEASE);
}

void loop() {
  motor.run(FORWARD);
  delay(2000);

  motor.run(BACKWARD);
  delay(2000);

  motor.run(RELEASE);
  delay(1000);
}

Applications

  • Robotics systems
  • Automation projects
  • Motorized mechanisms
  • Stepper motor control
  • Educational experiments

Tips & Information

  • Always use an external power supply for motors.
  • Avoid powering motors directly from Arduino 5V.
  • Ensure motor voltage matches specifications.
  • Heat buildup under load is normal.
  • Peak current ratings should not be used continuously.
