VEEROBOT Motor Driver - L293D

One of the first tasks in the world of robotics is to make something move. Later realizing that it is not an easy task is something that happens. There is a brain for your robot in the form of a microcontroller and there are motors and wheels ready to take commands. But you cannot connect the tiny signal from the microcontroller and connect it directly to the motor. If you do so, all you see is the motor laughing at you
This is where you require a motor driver. The tiny chip on the board takes those tiny signals (or commands) from your microcontroller and boosts it until it is large enough to drive a motor. The board around makes sure connections between your controller and motor is hassle free
The chip on the board is an L293D H-Bridge driver which is capable of driving two DC motors and delivers output current upto 1A on each channel. Another pair of pins control speed of motors by conventional PWM method. Motor driver can either be powered by the microcontroller power pins or through an external power supply. Onboard regulator makes sure 5V is supplied to chip for logical operation and higher voltage (external supply) to motors

Features

  • Onboard 5V regulator so that you do not require two different power sources to power the board
  • Extended Pins for M1a, M1b, M2a, M2b, E1 and E2
  • Jumpers to connect E1 and E2 to VCC in case you do not use enable pins
  • Power LED to indicate power to the board
  • Terminal blocks to provide a strong hold while making plugging in and pulling out motor wires easy
  • Capacitors to store energy and help in voltage spike suppression
  • Additional 5V, VS and Ground pins for connecting other modules or controllers
  • M3 Mounting holes for mounting this board on robots and other projects
  • Chip mounted on a 16 Pin Socket in case you need to replace the chip

Specifications

  • Power input via terminal block
  • On board regulator to power additional circuits at 5v
  • PWM on EN1 and EN2
  • Digital Input on IN1, IN2, IN3 and IN4
  • LED to indicate power
  • Maximum 1A ouput per channel
  • Can control two DC motors with Speed and Direction
