The L293D Motor Driver/Servo Shield for Arduino is a versatile add-on board designed to control DC motors, stepper motors, and servos seamlessly using an Arduino. Built around the L293D IC, this shield allows bi-directional motor control and supports up to 4 DC motors or 2 stepper motors simultaneously, making it perfect for robotics and automation projects.
This shield operates on a voltage range of 4.5V to 36V, with a peak current of 600mA per channel. It also features two servo motor ports powered by Arduino's 5V pin, enabling easy integration of precise servo control. The onboard jumper settings allow the shield to be powered either directly from the Arduino or via an external power source for high-power motors.
Key features include:
PWM speed control for smooth operation.
Dual H-bridge design for independent motor control.
Screw terminals for secure motor connections.
I2C headers for additional modules.
The L293D Shield is ideal for projects like robotic arms, wheeled robots, conveyor systems, and automation setups, offering a user-friendly and efficient solution for multi-motor control.
