The L293D Motor Driver Shield is a powerful add-on board that allows your Arduino to control motors with ease. Whether you're building a robot, an RC car, or an automation project, this shield makes motor control simple, efficient, and expandable.
๐งฐ Key Features:
Dual H-Bridge Motor Drivers (L293D ICs): Control up to 4 DC motors or 2 stepper motors
Current per Channel: Up to 600mA (peak 1.2A)
Operating Voltage: 4.5V โ 25V (via external motor power input)
Built-in Diodes: For back EMF protection
Independent Motor Speed & Direction Control: With PWM support
Servo Motor Header: Control 2 hobby servo motors (using Arduino pins 9 and 10)
Stackable Design: Can be stacked with other shields for extended functionality
๐ Pin Usage:
Digital Pins: 3, 5, 6, 11 (PWM)
Direction Control: Pins 4, 7, 8, 12
Servo Control: Pins 9, 10
You can also customize pin usage in your code if needed.
๐ง Applications:
2WD or 4WD robots
Line-following and obstacle-avoiding bots
Smart car projects
Conveyor systems
Small CNC and robotic arm control
๐งโ๐ซ Why Use the L293D Shield?
Plug-and-play compatibility with Arduino Uno, Mega, and Leonardo
Easy stacking without messy wiring
No soldering required โ just insert and go!
Ideal for beginners learning motor control and robotics
