SparkFun Ludus Protoshield
The SparkFun Ludus Protoshield is an Arduino compatible shield designed to make connecting motors and sensors to your Arduino-based development board as fast and easy as possible. Each Ludus shield has been equipped with a small prototyping area for quick integration of Arduino projects without the need of a separate breadboard. Simply assemble what you need in the prototyping area, attach this shield to your Arduino, and you will be up and running in no time. The SparkFun Ludus Protoshield was developed by our Education department to help teach any interested individual the dynamics of motor control through the Arduino IDE and was lovingly named after their very own mascot.The heart of the Ludus ProtoShield is an H-Bridge Motor Driver. This allows the ProtoShield to drive two DC motors at once in both directions and brake electronically. The TB6612FNG H-Bridge Driver is rated up to 1.2A per channel at 13V which means it will drive a fair variety of hobby motors ranging in power. This
