I'm planning to use an Uno board with the Arduino motor shield to drive a DC motor with maximum current draw of 2.7A and maximum voltage of 12V. So far, I doubt I'm going to need to run the motor at over 1.5A. Some quick questions:
If I want to be able to run the motor at over 2A (the maximum for a single channel), is there a way to configure the system to use both channels to power the motor in order to get around the 2A limit for one channel?
Which pins on the Uno board will I be able to access, and which are taken by the motor shield? I need to use the board to measure a voltage on a separate circuit and adjust the motor speed based on that voltage.

A link or something to what shield you are using would be useful...
