L298N Motor shield and 2.8A DC motor - would it fry the shield ?

Hi Christian

The shield has a large heat sink so I think it may be ok. There are 2 outputs on the board. I plan to use the motor for low speed so I think it may be ok. I concern only when the motor first starts, it draws higher ampere than the board specified but last only a few seconds. I will give it a go.
Thanks for your help.
