L293D Motor Driver shield
L293D Motor Driver Shield – Dual Motor Control for Arduino
The L293D Motor Driver Shield is a plug-and-play expansion board designed to control DC motors, stepper motors, and servo motors directly from an Arduino. Based on the L293D dual H-bridge motor driver IC, this shield is perfect for robotics and automation projects.
🔧 Key Features:
Motor Channels:
2× DC motor control with direction and speed (PWM)
1× stepper motor (bipolar/unipolar)
2× servo motor headers (controlled via Arduino pins 9 & 10)
Output Current: 600mA per channel (peak 1.2A)
Motor Voltage Supply: Up to 36V
Logic Voltage: 5V (direct from Arduino)
Built-in Flyback Diodes: For protection against back EMF
Stackable Design: Allows other shields on top
Control Pins: Uses digital pins 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11 by default (can be reconfigured)
📘 Applications:
Arduino Robotics
Line-following cars
Stepper motor control
Smart automation systems
DIY CNC or 3D printer controllers
📦 Package Includes:
1 × L293D Motor Driver Shield
(Headers may be soldered or unsoldered depending on variant)
