About this item

The L293D Motor Driver/Servo Shield for Arduino is an essential accessory for robotics and automation projects, enabling seamless control of motors and servos directly from an Arduino board. This shield is equipped with two L293D motor driver ICs, each capable of driving up to two DC motors or a single stepper motor, providing a total capacity to control four DC motors or two stepper motors simultaneously. Additionally, it includes two dedicated servo motor connectors, allowing for precise control of servo motors using Arduino's high-resolution timers. The shield operates on a voltage range of 4.5V to 25V, accommodating various motor specifications. Each L293D driver can supply up to 600mA continuous current per channel, with a peak of 1.2A, ensuring reliable motor operation. Thermal shutdown and internal kickback protection diodes are integrated to safeguard the components. The inclusion of a 74HC595 shift register extends the Arduino's I/O capabilities, facilitating efficient control of multiple motors and servos. Compatible with Arduino UNO, Mega, and other models, this shield simplifies wiring and enhances project scalability. Whether you're building a robotic arm, automated vehicle, or home automation system, the L293D Motor Driver/Servo Shield offers a robust solution for motor control needs.
