L293D Motor Driver Board

【L293D】The motor shield is based on the L293, a full-bridge dual-driver designed to drive inductive loads such as relays, solenoids, DC motors, and stepper motors. It lets you drive two DC motors with your board, controlling the speed and direction of each independently. You can also measure the motor current draw of each motor, among other characteristics. The shield is compatible with 【Compact Design】The L293D is a monolithic 4-channel, high-voltage, high-current integrated circuit. Basically, this means you can use this chip with DC motors and power supplies up to 36 Volts. providing a maximum current of 600mA per channel, the L293D chip is also known as an H-bridge type. 【Motor Connections】 Brushed DC motor. You can drive two brushed DC motors by connecting the two wires of each into t

You can drive two brushed DC motors by connecting the two wires of each into the screw terminals (+) and (-) of each channel A and B. You can thus control its direction by adjusting the HIGH and LOW positions of DIR A and DIR B, you can control the speed by varying the duty cycle values ​​of PWM A and PWM B. 【EASY OPERATION】You can measure the current flowing through the DC motor by reading the SNS0 and SNS1 pins. On each channel will be a voltage proportional to the measured current, which can be read like a normal analog input, via the analogRead() function on analog inputs A0 and A1. For your convenience, it is calibrated at 3.3 V when the channel delivers its maximum possible current, i.e. 2A.
