🛠 Wiring Guide with Arduino

Pin Connections:

  • ENA, ENB → PWM-capable Arduino pins (e.g., D9 & D10)

  • IN1/IN2, IN3/IN4 → Digital pins for direction control (e.g., D5, D6, D7, D8)

  • +12V (VS) → Motor supply (5–35 V)

  • GND → Common ground with Arduino

  • +5V → Logic power (use only with jumper enabled when VS ≤ 12 V)

Example Wiring Code Snippet:

cpp
CopyEdit
#define ENA 9
#define IN1 5
#define IN2 6
#define ENB 10
#define IN3 7
#define IN4 8

void setup() {
  pinMode(ENA, OUTPUT); pinMode(IN1, OUTPUT); pinMode(IN2, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(ENB, OUTPUT); pinMode(IN3, OUTPUT); pinMode(IN4, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
  // Forward
  digitalWrite(IN1, HIGH); digitalWrite(IN2, LOW);
  digitalWrite(IN3, HIGH); digitalWrite(IN4, LOW);
  analogWrite(ENA, 200); analogWrite(ENB, 200);
  delay(2000);
  // Reverse
  digitalWrite(IN1, LOW); digitalWrite(IN2, HIGH);
  digitalWrite(IN3, LOW); digitalWrite(IN4, HIGH);
  delay(2000);
}

📱 applictions:

  • Use a Bluetooth (HC-05) or Wi‑Fi (ESP8266/ESP32) module connected to Arduino.

  • Build a mobile app (via MIT App Inventor or Blynk) to send commands over serial/UART.

  • Control motor speed and direction remotely — perfect for robot cars and IoT automation.
