Description

​The L298N 2A Motor Driver Module is a robust and reliable component designed for controlling the speed and direction of DC and stepper motors in various electronic projects. Its dual H-Bridge design allows for independent control of two motors, making it ideal for applications in robotics, automation, and motorized systems.​

Key Features:

• Dual H-Bridge Design: Enables independent control of two DC motors or a single stepper motor, allowing for bidirectional movement and speed regulation.​

• Wide Operating Voltage: Supports motor supply voltages ranging from 5V to 35V, accommodating a variety of motor types and power requirements.​

• High Current Handling: Capable of delivering up to 2A per channel, suitable for driving motors with moderate power demands.​

• Integrated 5V Regulator: Features an onboard 78M05 voltage regulator that can provide a 5V supply to the logic circuitry, simplifying power management.​

• Built-in Heat Sink: Equipped with a heat sink to dissipate heat effectively, ensuring stable operation during extended use.

Applications:

• Robotics: Controls the movement of robotic platforms, including wheeled and tracked robots, by managing motor speed and direction.

• Automation Systems: Drives motors in automated processes such as conveyor belts, sorting mechanisms, and assembly lines.​

• DIY Electronics Projects: Ideal for hobbyists and makers developing motorized projects requiring precise control.​

• Educational Purposes: Serves as a practical tool for teaching motor control concepts and interfacing with microcontrollers like Arduino.​

Usage Guidelines:

• Power Connections: Connect the motor power supply to the VCC terminal and ground to the GND terminal. If the motor supply voltage exceeds 12V, remove the onboard 5V regulator jumper and provide an external 5V supply to the logic circuitry.​

• Control Inputs: Utilize the IN1, IN2, IN3, and IN4 pins to control motor direction by sending appropriate logic signals from a microcontroller.​

• Speed Control: Implement Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) signals on the ENA and ENB pins to regulate motor speed effectively.​

• Heat Dissipation: Ensure adequate ventilation around the module to allow the heat sink to function properly, preventing overheating during prolonged operation.​
