Hello Everyone, I'm trying to drive two linear actuators with an Arduino motorshieldR3 connected to the Mega 2560. I'd assumed I wouldn't need more than 2A per actuator which I know the motorshield is capable of per channel. However, when I hooked everything up it requires just about 2A to get one …

can the Arduino motorshieldR3 be stacked to double its current capacity?

MarkT:
The OP is talking about paralleling the whole motorshield with itself, thats channel 1 with channel 1 on the other shield, etc...

That's not how I read it.
