I had attached the screenshot for this
This picture tells you about the Arduino Connection with the with the SHIELD.
EN (Enable Pin)
is used to enable and disable the motor drivers. As it is inverted SET this PIN HIGH
will Disable the Motors and vice versa.DIR pinS
is used direction of rotation. It highly depends upon your connection, setting this PIN HIGH LOW
will make the motor rotation from CLOCKWISE & ANTI CLOCKWISE
or vice versa depends upon your hardware connection.PWM pins
are used to control the rotation speed of the MOTOR. Driving PWM signal
on this pin will adjust your rotational speed. MAX PWM frequency suggested is 50Hz
.Fault
is the INPUT PIN to Arduino
with ACTIVE LOW
signal indicating some kind of fault is there.
