Adafruit Motor Shield Kit Review

Project Completed: January 2014

The Adafruit Motor Shield is a shield for Arduino that allows the Arduino to control DC motors, stepper motors, and servos more easily. I have used these shields for many projects such as automating a rover.

The Motor Shield comes in an anti-static, shiny plastic bag in parts.

The finished shield looks like this:

The directions from Adafruit are written well and easy to follow. I feel that these shields are well designed and stack very easily. This shield is useful and executes its purpose very well!
