Is it possible to wire this motor shield designed for the Arduino up and get it to work for a Raspberry Pi 2?

You can get suitable L9110S or L298N based motor driver boards for a couple of GBP from eBay. That is what I'd do if I didn't already have such a shield.– joanCommented Jul 8, 2015 at 18:51

Yeah, I was planning on doing that, I had already picked this one for something else. Didn't want to waste it.– CharliePrynnCommented Jul 8, 2015 at 20:16

It's likely that it can. The arduino produces 5V logic levels whereas the RaPi only uses 3V3 so that's the main worry but, the L298 spec (the H bridge device used on the shield) I believe allows TTL high levels of 2V to be used.
OK I've just checked and the high logic level requirements are a minimum level of 2.3 volts so either 3V3 logic levels or 5V logic levels are compatible.
Regards the efficacy of this shield, take a look at the L298 spec or read this question on SE.EE

I don't know - I'm not a novice and can't wear your shoes - what would seem easy to me might be a nightmare to you.– Andy akaCommented Jul 8, 2015 at 13:14

Sure, I can see where you're coming from. Any docs or anything that would point me in the right direction would be much appreciated. - Just seen your edit, cheers! Commented Jul 8, 2015 at 13:17
