Cytron SHIELD-MD10 10A Motor Driver Shield User's Manual
The SHIELD-MD10 10A is an Arduino shield for controlling high-current brushed DC motors up to 10A continuously. It is compatible with Arduino UNO, Arduino Duemilanove, Arduino Mega, Arduino Leonardo, and possibly other pin-compatible main boards. The SHIELD-MD10 uses full solid-state components, which results in a faster response time and eliminates the wear and tear of the mechanical relay.

4.0 BOARD LAYOUT
1. Stackable Digital I/O Headers
JP4 and JP6 are Digital I/O pins stacked to the Arduino main board.
2. Optional External Control
External control is for the use of other types of microcontroller besides Arduino.
3. Test Button B
When this button is pressed, current flows from output B to A and motor will turn CCW (or
CW depending on the connection).
4. Test Button A
When this button is pressed, current flows from output A to B and motor will turn CW (or
CCW depending on the connection).
5. Stackable Analog Input Header
This is the analog port of the Arduino and is not used by SHIELDMD10. The stackable header allows other stacked shield to utilize these pins.
6. Stackable Power Pins Header
This is the power port of the Arduino. Only RST and GND pins are connected to the
SHIELDMD10. The stackable header allows other stacked shield to utilize these pins.

Turns ON when the output A is low and output B is high. Indicates the current flows from
output B to A.
9. Red LED A.
Turns ON when the output B is low and output A is high. Indicates the current flows from
output A to B.

6.0 HARDWARE INSTALLATION
This section shows the example of using SHIELDMD10 with Arduino UNO as the main controller to control a brush motor. However, other Arduino main board such as Arduino Duemilanove and
Arduino Mega can also be used.
Figure below shows that the SHIELDMD10 is stacked on the Arduino UNO. Please ensure that the pins alignment is correct.
D2. However, other pins may be selected if these pins are already used by other application.
Remember to initialize the correct Arduino’s digital pin accordingly in the user sketch/program.
Connect the brush motor and motor power to the terminal block on SHIELDMD10 as shown.
