Summary

I2C motor control shield supporting DC motors, servos, and PWM channels with configurable drivers and pulse modulation.

Description

The Adafruit Motor Shield V2 component provides comprehensive motor control capabilities through I2C interface. It supports two driver channels each controlling two DC motors, multiple servo outputs, and 16 PWM channels. The shield features configurable motor parameters including slope control, PWM frequency adjustment, and servo pulse customization. Typical applications include robotics, CNC systems, automated controls, and any project requiring precise motor and servo management.
