Motoruino

The Motoruino board is an Arduino clone designed to work with motors, servos and sensors.

Motoruino key words:

  • easy to use, understand, play with
  • must be a plug-and-roll board
  • to be suitable with shields, and with regular Arduino Diecimilla/Duemillanove boards
  • one H-Bridge (L293D) gives the possibility to control 2 dc motors
  • the usage of the H-Bridge is open, i.e., there aren’t any Arduino output pins assigned, the user can use the bridge the way he/she wants
  • motors supply and PWM pins might be used with external voltage or regulated 5 volts
  • motors have 3 different connectors, screws terminals, male headers, JST connectors
  • servos and sensors can be easily plugged
  • two possible FTDI/USB connections available:
    USB / TTL convertor, there are some choices on the market for this one, you can have it in the form of a cable, or in the form of a small pcb or using a USB adaptor with the FTDI chip embedded


All other specifications are similar to the Arduino Diecimila boards, you can use both ATmega 168 or 328
