Help with L293d Motor shield

Using Arduino Motors, Mechanics, Power and CNC
#1

I'm building a gas detection robot. I need to know if I can control for dc motors and two servo from 12v dc powrr using l293d shield at the same time.

You don't need a shield to control servos - they contain all their own control electronics.

...R

#3

But I already bought the shiled to control the motors and it leaves no pin on the arduino

#4

Which shield did you buy?

How much current do your motors draw?

I see that the old Adafruit one can manage two servos and four motors, so maybe yours can.

I am not an expert on shields - I never bought one for exactly that reason.

I suspect that the shield does not use all the Arduino I/O pins and you can probably connect to the pins that it does not use. But you need to post a link to the datasheet for the shield that you have,
