L293d motor driver Drive Shield L293D for Arduino Duemilanove Mega / UNO

L293D motor driver is a monolithic integrated, high voltage, high current, 4-channel driver.

This is a dual full-bridge driver designed to drive inductive loads such as relays, solenoids, DC and stepping motors.

It lets you drive two DC motors with your board, controlling the speed and direction of each one independently.

You can also measure the motor current absorption of each motor, among other features. The shield is TinkerKit compatible, which means you can quickly create projects by plugging TinkerKit modules to the board.

The L293D chip is also what’s known as a type of H-Bridge.

• 2 interface for 5V Servo connected to For high-resolution dedicated timer – no jitter!
• Can drive 4 DC motors or 2 stepper motors or 2 Servo
• Up to 4 bi-directional DC motors with individual 8-bit speed selection
• Up to 2 stepper motors (unipolar or bipolar) with single coil, double coil or interleaved stepping.
• 4 H-Bridges: per bridge provides 0.6A (1.2A peak current) with thermal protection, can run motors on 4.5V to 36V DC
• Pull down resistors keep motors disabled during power-up
• Reset button
• 2 external terminal power interface, for separate logic/motor supplies
• Tested compatible for Mega, Diecimila & Duemilanove
