My dc motor seems to not work due to low current created by Arduino. would this shield be a solution?

Hello, most of the time the Arduino will not be able to provide enough current but this shield has 4 H-Bridges where each bridge provides 0.6A (1.2A peak current) with thermal protection and can run motors on 4.5V to 25V DC using an external power source. Motor configuration: drive 4 DC motors or 2 stepper motors or 2 Servo: Up to 4 bi-directional DC motors with individual 8-bit speed selection or up to 2 stepper motors (unipolar or bipolar) with single coil, double coil or interleaved stepping. Hope this helps.

maybe is the best i can say. ive had mine for about a year but could not find a good example of how to properly wire it their example was only for their breakout board. but technicly if it is the same as a regular arduino mega it should work

Mine was DOA and I used a third party Solar Cell and bypassed the switch, so I imagine you can try bypassing the switch to see if the motor is still working, I think most of the components should be OK, assembly of the unit seemed kind of shabby on mine. . . The video I posted should still be up on Amazon for the Solar Spinner.

I have no experience with motor capacitors.Physically they look big and this meter is for relatively small stuff, however, it might work.You should check to see if the size of the motor capacitors are with the range of the meter.On the other hand, if you put an ohm meter on a low range across a large capacitor it will show 0 ohms if it is shorted, OL, if it is open or over a few seconds go from low resistance to high resistance.Good luck

The output of this (electronic) transformer is 11.7VAC (AC!), not DC. That being said, most low voltage DC switches will function OK with when used with low voltage AC. "jimyastic" makes a good point about circuit protection, however I would assume if this device conforms to required UL standards (UL approved?) then it's behaviour during use and when it fails has been satisfactorily addressed and shouldn't be of concern.

I never got it to work... Maybe my bad door I ended up replacing. It powers off the garage door connections and I would assume dc.

I don't think they are designed for that but if you were to bypass the controller and checked to be sure the applied current was correct it would probably work. Just a guess.

I can't say for sure, but according to adafruits arduino shield compatibility chart it's not likely. (http://learn.adafruit.com/assets/6122)

I have been using this to run the AC power from the wall, 110VAC. The Arduino pins have plenty of juice to toggle to relay. I have run mine for extended periods and have not had it fail yet. Only bought one. I plan on buying more soon.Application: Power relay from Sanguinololu 1.3a installed on MendelMax. Powering 110VAC-12V 20A power supply.

Yes but you will want to look into the Arduino motor shield or something like it.

Please check the drawing, which is shown together with the pictures. My motor unit was fixed on a foldable bicycle burnt after a 15 minute ride. The 24VDC controller bought from Monster scooter connectors melted. Have uninstalled the motor since it's shorted, brown liquid oozed out of the motor casing. Hope this helps.

I can't answer about Arduino. I am using the PicAxe which can directly switch 12 volts, but can't handle any significant load. I run 5v to the logic side and run 12 volts to the control side of the picaxe. I also push the outputs to this board to switch other 12, 24 and. 110v circuits with higher loads. I will directly push LED circuits with the PicAxe and low load 12v.

I use this relay on a 12VAC circuit. Works great. I think there is a small diode in series with the coil , so the coil would be DC. Check the one you have it might be the same.

Try higher than 12vdc. I use it on a 24vdc system, and have not tested until your message and it works OK.

You should keep it to 5v so as to avoid burning it out. I do not know if you are using it with an Arduino or not, but the Arduino Mega 2560 can power it via its 5v and gnd connections.

Maybe too much current. measure it and compare it to diode specks check to make sure the diode isn't shorted.

If the air vent uses a motor, that may be the problem. The IPS02 is not designed to switch the power for electric motors. It may cause the motor to momentarily stall, hence drawing more electrical current.
