    I like to start building my own platform simulator so i order this saint mega 2560 r3 and i am not sure if this h-bridge (http://www.ebay.com/itm/400569497467) will work with my arduino board. I bought also 3 motors 12v 15A . Can you help me with that? *Thanks!!!

    *My idea is to do something cheap to learn first!!

    Yes, @MagicMike , of course this h-bridge should work with Arduino. I have this h-bridge and I did some tests (with opto-coupler). You can see video here

    Thank you for your response @prilad. I will purchase 3 boards of them and i will connect 1 motor to each of them. It is posible to connect the 3 h-bridges on my arduino uno 2560 r3 ? :)
