If you are looking for a low cost motor driver that can control two small DC brush motor, or one stepper motor, check out this low cost
L298 based motor driver!
- Start
- Stop
- Brake
- Direction
- Speed
Maximum current output is up to 2A(peak) per motor. The board have built in flyback/back EMF diodes, too. If you power it >20VDC and enable on board 5V regulator, it will get quite warm. That's normal!
What motors can you use with it? Any motor that is:
- DC brushed motor with two terminals
- Operating voltage: 7V to 30VDC
- Rated current is <= 1.0 Amps
- Peak current is <= 2.0 Amps
- Or Stepper Motor with 4 leads (bipolar)
Features:
- Dual Channel Motor driver for DC brushed motor
- It can also drive bipolar stepper motor
- 1A continuous current per channel (2A peak)
- Vmotor: 7V to 30VDC
- Dimension: 5.5cm x 4.4cm 2.7cm
- Ready with:
- Vmotor, GND and 5V terminals
- Output A and B terminals for motor
- Heatsink mounted with L298 for better heat dissipation
- Flyback EMF diodes
- Header pins for IN1, IN2, IN3, and IN4
- On board 5V voltage regulator
- Compatible with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, but will require manual wiring.
