What is the The Kraken Shield series controller?

The Kraken Prop Controller Shield is a hardware project derived from the OctoPill v1 project. We created The Kraken to make it easier for you to get your project up and running quick. This controller allows for more flexibility when designing your prop, puzzle or show. All outputs are pinned out so you can run more variety of outputs.  From L298n motor drivers (Great for Linear Actuators.), IRF520 Mosfet (Great for high current devices with no relay noise.) The Kraken will save you time & help keep things tidy.
