L293D Arduino Motor Driver Shield

L293D is a monolithic integrated, high voltage, high current, 4-channel driver.
Can drive 4 DC motors or 2 stepper motors or 2 Servo.
Up to 4 bi-directional DC motors with individual 8-bit speed selection.
Up to 2 stepper motors (unipolar or bipolar) with single coil, double coil or interleaved stepping.
4 H-Bridges: per bridge provides 0.6A (1.2A peak current) with thermal protection, can run motors on 4.5V to 10V DC.
Pull down resistors keep motors disabled during power-up.

Product details

The L293D Motor driver shield is one of the best way for controlling DC, Servo and Stepper motors especially if you are using Arduino UNO or MEGA in projects like robotics and CNC. This shield is based on the L293D IC and can drive 4 bi-directional DC motors , 2 stepper motors and 2 servo motors. It is mainly compatible with the Arduino UNO and MEGA boards.

l293d shield

The L293D is a dual-channel H-Bridge motor driver capable of driving a pair of DC motors or single stepper motor. This shield offers total four H-Bridges and each H-bridge can deliver up to 0.6A to the motor. The shield also comes with a 74HC595 shift register that extends 4 digital pins of the Arduino to the 8 direction control pins of two L293D chips.
