linear actuator

Post by yy205001 »

Hi,

I am wondering can I connect the linear actuator to the motor shield v2 to one of the motor spot to control the linear actuator?

Thank you

There are many different types of linear actuators, some of which are compatible with the shield. Post a link to the technical specifications for the linear actutor you would like to use.

Input: 12V Max
Current: 1.6A
Unfortunately, no. The maximum continuous current the shield can handle is 1.2A.
Check www.pololu.com for a nice selection of higher-current motor controllers.
