L293D Motor Driver Shield for Arduino

Unleash the full potential of your Arduino projects with the versatile L293D Motor Driver Shield. Designed for seamless integration with Arduino UNO, Mega 2560, Diecimila, and Duemilanove boards, this shield makes controlling motors effortless for beginners and experienced hobbyists alike. Whether you're building a robot, an interactive electronic project, or experimenting with motor control, this shield offers robust performance and ease of use.

Key Features:

• Versatile Motor Control: Drive up to 4 bi-directional DC motors, 2 stepper motors (unipolar or bipolar), or 2 servo motors simultaneously.
• High-Resolution Servo Control: Two 5V servo motor ports connect directly to Arduino's high-resolution timer for smooth, jitter-free operation.
• Powerful H-Bridge: Features the reliable L293D chip with 4 H-bridges, providing 0.6A per bridge (1.2A peak) with thermal shutdown protection. Supports motors from 4.5V to 36V DC.
• Enhanced Safety: Built-in pull-down resistors ensure motors remain stopped on power-up, preventing accidental movement.
• Easy Wiring: Large terminal block connectors (10 - 22AWG) simplify motor and power connections.
• Independent Power Supply: Two external power supply terminals allow for separate logic and motor drive power, ensuring stable operation.
• Arduino Compatibility: Fully compatible with Arduino UNO, Mega 2560, Diecimila, and Duemilanove.
• Beginner-Friendly: Supported by powerful driving libraries and regular functional updates. We highly recommend the Adafruit Motor Shield Library (AFM) for quick project development.
• Convenient Reset: Includes an integrated Arduino reset button.
• DIY Ready: Available as a complete kit for enthusiasts who prefer to assemble themselves.

Possible Configurations:

• Drive four DC motors and two servo motors.
• Drive two DC motors, one stepper motor, and two servo motors.
• Drive two stepper motors and two servo motors.

This L293D Motor Driver Shield is an essential component for any Arduino enthusiast looking for a powerful, flexible, and easy-to-use solution for motor control in their projects.
