Motor Control Shield for Arduino V1.0 with L293D

The Motor Control Shield with the L293D chip is your ideal choice when you want to control a small robot or implement projects with motors. It's compatible with various Arduino models like UNO, Mega, Diecimila, and Duemilanove. The special thing about this shield is its versatility. You can control up to 4 DC motors or 2 stepper motors, and even have the option to control two servos at the same time. You can also use a combination of these different motor types, giving you maximum flexibility for your projects. The "AFmotor" Arduino library is available for programming. You can find this in the Arduino Library Manager under the keyword "AFmotor", which greatly simplifies programming.

An important note on power supply: The Arduino alone often does not provide enough power for the motors. Therefore, we recommend connecting an external 9V power source to the EXT_PWR terminals. Don't forget to remove the PWR jumper when you use an external power source.
