1PC/3PCS L298N Motor Driver Module with Jumper Wires, High Voltage High Current Dual H-Bridge Driver, Robot Programming, Smart Car, Compatible with Arduino Uno Mega2560, Raspberry Pi

Product Description

Product Overview

The L298N Motor Driver Module is a popular dual full-bridge driver that enables control of two DC motors or a single stepper motor. It is widely used in robotics and other applications requiring motor control.

Key Features:

• Control: Capable of driving motors with a wide range of voltages and current requirements.
• Interface: Operates with inputs that can be controlled by various microcontrollers like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, etc.
• Outputs: Two H-bridges allow for forward and reverse control of each motor.
• Power: Supports a supply voltage range from 5V to 46V and can deliver high current up to 2A per channel without a heat sink, or up to 4A with additional cooling.
• Protection: Includes over-temperature and short-circuit protection for the motors.
• Size: Compact design for easy integration into projects.

Specifications:

• Driver Chip: L298N dual H-bridge motor driver IC.
• Motor Supply Voltage (Maximum): 46V.
• Motor Supply Current (Maximum): 2A per channel, peak 3A.
• Driver Voltage: 5V to 35V.
• Driver Current: 2A continuous, 4A peak.
• Logical Current: 0 to 36mA.
• Maximum Power: 25W.
• Control: PWM for speed control and direction control via input pins.
• Package Type: Module with integrated heat sink.

Applications:

• Robotics: Used in hobbyist and educational robots to control wheels and other mechanical parts.
• Automated Systems: Can be used in automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and conveyor systems.
• DIY Projects: Ideal for a variety of DIY projects that require precise motor control.
• R/C Vehicles: Commonly used in radio-controlled (R/C) cars, boats, and planes.

Usage Notes:

1. Heat Dissipation: For continuous high-current operation, ensure adequate heat sinking is provided to prevent overheating.
2. Logic Level Compatibility: The input logic level is 5V, which is compatible with most microcontrollers.
3. Enable Pins: Utilize the enable pins (Enable 1 and Enable 2) to put the motors in a high-impedance state when not in use.
4. Polarity Protection: Be cautious of the power supply polarity to avoid damaging the module.
5. Motor Connection: Ensure that motors are correctly connected according to the L298N's documentation to prevent damage or unexpected behavior.
