Reading Motor Current on Arduino Motor Shield (2A model)
Account cancelled 2013-10-12 21:23:32 3303 Views1 Replies Is it possible to read the motor current on this implementation of the L298 chip via the Arduino? (e.g. is there a pin we can connect to an Analog IN pin and read the current to detect stalls or over current situations.)

L298 chip has two current sensor pins A ans B
for L298N (Multiwatt Vert.) they are pin 1 and 15
for L298P (PowerSO20) they are pin2 and 19
the current that flows through the load is monitored at these pins.
Our arduino is L298p
here is a datasheet
