Overview
The Motor Shield is based on the L298, which is a dual full-bridge driver designed to
drive inductive loads such as relays, solenoids, DC and stepping motors. It lets you drive two
DC motors , controlling the speed and direction of each one independently.

Max current 2A per channel or 4A max
Free running stop and brake function
Chip: ST L298N
Logic power supply:5v
Max power:25w
Weight: 35g
Size:55mm x 60mm x 30mm

The chip 78M05 will not work good
when the supply voltage lower than 5v.
Then need a separate 5V logic supply
