L298 Based Motor Driver Module
A high power motor driver ideal for controlling DC and Stepper Motors
This L298 Based Motor Driver Module is a robust motor driver, ideal for operating DC Motors and Stepper Motors. It uses the renowned L298 motor driver IC and includes an on-board 5V regulator. It supports control of up to 4 DC motors or 2 DC motors with directional and speed options. This exemplary module is an excellent choice for robotics, mechatronics projects, and motor control via microcontrollers, switches, relays, etc.
The module introduces an H-Bridge circuit that can facilitate current in either polarity controllable by Pulse Width Modulation (PWM). PWM proves to be an efficient method of governing the duration of an electronic pulse, thereby enhancing the longevity and reliability of motors.
