Summary
The Adafruit Motor Shield V1.2 is an Arduino-compatible shield designed to control up to 4 DC motors. It provides independent speed control for each motor using PWM, with acceleration and deceleration slope settings.
Description
The Adafruit Motor Shield V1.2 uses two motor driver ICs (Driver1 and Driver2), each controlling 2 DC motors. Each motor can be individually enabled, configured with an initial value, and controlled with acceleration (Slope Run) and deceleration (Slope Stop) properties.
It provides analog PWM outputs for motor speeds and digital pins for enable and latch operations.
