Review & Description
This dual bidirectional motor driver is based on the very popular L298 Dual H-Bridge Motor Driver Integrated Circuit and allows you to easily and independently control two motors of up to 2A each in both directions. It is ideal for robotic applications and well suited for connection to a microcontroller, requiring only a couple control lines per motor. It can also be easily controlled with simple manual switches, TTL logic gates, relays, etc. 4 directional LEDs (2 per motor) tell you at a glance which motor is spinning which direction, and an additional power LED tells you when the unit is operating. Other features include a built-in heat sink to prevent overheating, screw-terminal connectors, and eight Schottky EMF-protection diodes. Two high-power current sense resistors are also included to allow monitoring of the current drawn on each motor through your microcontroller! As if this wasn't enough, the onboard user-accessible 5V regulator can also be used to supply any additional circuits requiring a regulated 5V DC supply, and the circuit offers a bridged mode of operation for bidirectional control of a single motor of up to approximately 4A! Supply / Load Voltage: 6-35VDC. Output Power: up to 2A Each or 4A bridged. Dimensions: 2.50" x 2.50". From CanaKit. Read more
