    Correct!
    Arduino -------- Monster Moto1
    2 (Motor 1 H-Bridge ENA) ---------------7 and 8 (INA1 and INB1)
    3 (Motor 1 H-Bridge ENB)----------------4 and 9 (INA2 and INB2)
    9 (Motor 1 PWM) --------------------------5 and 6 (PWM1 and PWM2)
    -------------------
    Arduino -------- Monster Moto 2
    4 (Motor 2 H-Bridge ENA) ---------------7 and 8 (INA1 and INB1)
    5 (Motor 2 H-Bridge ENB)----------------4 and 9 (INA2 and INB2)
    10 (Motor 2 PWM) --------------------------5 and 6 (PWM1 and PWM2)
    Pot 1 of Motor 1 is A0, Pot 2 of Motor 2 is A1 (always middle output of the standard pots)

    PS: remember my suggestion, I would begin with one MM first (standard Dual Channel), then as a half bridge (two channels combined). At least as a dual half bridge described in this thread :) Perhaps it sounds complicated to you but it isn't. IMO it is important that you are familiar with the steps for future use.

    I 24V motors. Moto Monster voltage max: 16 v. What can you advise what to do?

    Hi @Nur let me explain what I I have found so far from SparkFun ( I am NOT a electronic guru, other know it way better than me ;) ): the nominal working voltage of the VNH2SP30 is around 12 - 13.8 V (automotive use). The 41 V limit is an “absolute maximum rating” specification for VCC, that is the maximum sustainable supply voltage by the internal H-bridge. As you can see in the data sheet, the shutdown protection voltage is pretty much lower. Normally the driver is going in protection mode already by disabling the output when VCC raise over about 16 V.

    Withstands 24V. Do I understand correctly?

    No. Maximum voltage is 16v.

    Here you go: http://users.elite.net/runner/jennifers/no.htm
    Along to the specs - as far as I can read and understand - not possible.

    Are all bridges can be connected through your scheme? Or so it can only be connected MotoMonster? If no exception is the parameters for what to look for? Help to choose at least some sort of option. Thank you!

    I do not understand. Even If I advise you, probably you will not understand (like the 16V limit which has been explained earlier this day.
    From where are you? If you are German speaking I can help you (despite of my offer I do not believe that many Germans are here :p )

    I have the same engine, only 24V. I try to understand the other bridges can be connected to you, 1 double bridge on 1 engine.

    yeah if you need any cheap samples Aliexpress is your friend.

    @Martin van Hagen : just test it quickly when you receive it! I didn't and I accepted a faulty MM once... it's too late to open a dispute in Aliexpress

    Same here, did not test it before building in, got two faulty samples and no refund...

    @Pit & @RacingMat Thanks for the advise! I read the T&C´s and it states to test and claim within 3 days after receiving the shipment. I am travelling a lot so that will be impossible to comply with. However the price of $12,00 a piece if I need 8 order 10 and find 2 failing it will still be cheaper than the Sparkfun MMs á $69,95 a MM. Just started to compile some parts to build 4 12Vdc 640W servo controllers containing 2 meanwell 320 12 PSUs (parallel with schottky diodes (40CTQ150)) connected to a "DC busbar", which will supply the MMs... t.b.c. on a new thread but like to have you guys on board for further advise and ideas? :thumbs
