The Arduino Motor Shield project is currently over on the Kickstarter crowd funding website looking to raise $41,500 in pledges to make the jump from concept to production.

If you're looking for clever ways to repurpose any of the old CD or DVD players that might be scattered around your house, we ...

The motor controller is commanded over the Arduino’s serial interface, and will support a serial interface to ROS (Robot Operating System) in the future.

The High Power H-Bridge Motor Shield for Arduino is equipped with built-in current sensing utilizing the ACS712, and is capable of driving any DC motor up to 15Amp.

This product is courtesy of It was super easy to make this mobile tracked platform and radio-controlled useful for building ...

However, it does take a stout motor because wind loading can put a lot of force on the system. [SP3TYF] has a HyGain AR-303 rotator and decided to build an Arduino-based controller for it.

To make this project yourself, you'll need any old CD/DVD player, an Arduino Uno board, Adafruit motor shield, 5V power supply, etching solution container, and some wood for the base of the disc tray.

Others contain wireless networking gear. Arduino also offers shields that focus on more specialized tasks, such enabling a Uno chip to be used as an industrial robot’s motor controller.

A note here, adding 100Ω resistors in series with the arduino pins could help limit pin current if someone shorts the motor connections to either rail. UPDATE: There are some cheap motor driver boards ...

Seeing this Toshiba motor drive, my first thought was ‘what a neat chip for pairing with an Arduino’ as it combines operation across 1.8 to 7V with up to 4A drive – so that is Li-ion batteries, 5V USB ...
