Adafruit Motor Shield & Funduino

Download our FREE Arduino Project Code

Attach Funduino and Motor Shield together.

Open the Arduino IDE then click Tools / Board / Arduino Duemilanove w/ AT328

// DC motor on M2
AF_DCMotor motor2(2);

You can also attach a Bluetooth module to control the motor using your Android phone.

/* Use your Android phone to control your motor FORWARD / REVERSE / LEFT / RIGHT
Upload code below.
