Description
The L293D Motor Driver Shield is a versatile add-on board for Arduino that enables you to control two DC motors or stepper motors. It features four H-bridges, allowing you to drive the motors in both forward and reverse directions, as well as adjust their speed.
Key Features
- Dual H-bridge: Controls two DC or stepper motors independently.
- Forward and Reverse Control: Drives motors in both directions.
- Speed Control: Adjusts motor speed using PWM (Pulse Width Modulation).
- Easy to Use: Simple connections to Arduino pins.
- Onboard LEDs: Indicate motor activity.
- 5V and 12V Power Supply: Can be powered by Arduino's 5V or an external 12V source.
Applications
- Robotics: Build robots with various movement capabilities.
- Line Follower: Create line-following robots for competitions or experiments.
- Autonomous Vehicles: Develop self-driving vehicles or cars.
- Educational Projects: Learn about motor control and robotics.
- Hobby Projects: Build creative motorized devices.
