Arduino Motor Shield V3

The Arduino Motor Shield is based on the L298, which is a dual full-bridge driver designed to drive inductive loads such as relays, solenoids, DC and stepping motors.

Notes

The Motor Shield requires PWM output on at least 2 pins in order to control the bridges.

Unfortunately not all mbed boards support hardware driven PWM on these pins meaning that some cross-connection may be required. Some suggestions are provided below:

KL46Z:

Connect pins 5 (PTA5) and 11 (PTD6) to allow pin 5 to control PWM B.
