I just got the new Arduino Duemilanove and Ardumoto - Motor Driver Shield…
I’m a little nervous about the 2 motors I want to hook up to the board… They are 12v 1.25a motors and what I am nervous about is using a 12v 2a DC power supply on the Duemilanove board as Vin…
Should I be worried about frying the board or any EMF? I know it says the motor shield is diode protected but what about the 12v 2a power going to Vin on the main board and also powering the 2 motors…
Please help… I use to work with PICs and L298 H-bridge in my own circuit and powering the PIC and L298 with separate supply. Then supplying the 2 motors with their own power supply…
