2A Dual L298N Motor Driver Module with PWM Control

2A Dual L298N Motor Driver Module with PWM Control

The L298N Motor Driver Module is a great choice for controlling motors! It contains a double H bridge L298N chip, which has a maximum voltage of 46V and a current of 2A. This L298N High-voltage Dual-channel motor driver works with a logic voltage of 5V and can drive motors with a voltage range of 5-35V, giving you good efficiency with a maximum power output of 25W.

One cool feature of the L298N-based motor driver module is that it has current sensing for each motor, so you can easily check how they’re doing. It also features a heatsink to keep it cool while running, which increases efficiency. Also, there is a power-on LED indicator that indicates when it is active. The L298N Module is perfect for controlling DC and Stepper motors, switches, relays, robotic cars, arms, etc.

Features:

• Uses an L298N IC for effective motor control.
• Includes a 78M05 Voltage Regulator for internal circuitry power.
• Jumper enables the voltage regulator for power supplies ? 12V; requires separate 5V for supplies > 12V.
• ENA and ENB pins control motor speed; IN1 & IN2 and IN3 & IN4 control motor direction.
• Features a Power LED for status monitoring.
• Compact design with integrated resistors and capacitors for stability.
• Easy to use with popular microcontrollers like Arduino.
