2A Dual DC Motor Driver L298N

The DFRobot MDV motor driver uses the L298N to control two DC motors with 4.8 to 46 V and 2 A each, direction and speed separately per channel. A large heat sink dissipates the heat, protection diodes absorb the back voltage of the motors. Wiring is done via screw terminals, control via one direction and one PWM input per channel from Arduino, ESP32 or Raspberry Pi.

Recommended Accessories:

• Dupont Cable M-M 20cm 20 Pieces
• Robot Gear Motor 1:48 with Wheel
• DC Socket Female Barrel Jack 5.5mm / 2.1mm with Screw Terminals

Features:

• Two channels for DC motors, each with E (enable and PWM) and M (direction)
• E HIGH and M LOW: forward; E HIGH and M HIGH: reverse; E LOW: stop; PWM on E sets the speed
• Jumper connects the logic supply to the motor supply: only fit it up to 12 V motor voltage, above that remove it and supply VD separately with 6 to 12 V
• Input HIGH from 2.3 V, so also suitable for 3.3 V boards
• Power LED and one status LED per motor
• Screw terminals for supply, motors and control signals, depending on the batch with slotted or Phillips screws (DFRobot)

Application Examples:

• Robot vehicles with two drives, such as line followers or obstacle avoidance
• Small conveyor belts and automation models
• Learning projects on motor control with Arduino
