Product Specification

Product Description

Specifications:

• L293D is a monolithic integrated, high voltage, high current, 4-channel driver
• Basically this means using this chip you can use DC motors and power supplies of up to 36 Volts, that’s some pretty big motors and the chip can supply a maximum current of 600mA per channel
• L293D chip is also what’s known as a type of H-Bridge
• The H-Bridge is typically an electrical circuit that enables a voltage to be applied across a load in either direction to an output, e.g. motor
• 2 interface for 5V Servo connected to the Arduino’s 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 seperate logic/motor supplies
• Tested compatible for Arduino Mega, Diecimila & Duemilanove

Additional Information

QUICK OVERVIEW

1. 2 connections for 5V ‘hobby’ servos connected to the Arduino’s high-resolution dedicated timer
2. 4 H-Bridges: L293D chipset provides 0.6A per bridge (1.2A peak) with thermal shutdown protection, internal kickback protection diodes.
3. Can run motors on 4.5VDC to 25VDC.
4. Up to 4 bi-directional DC motors with individual 8-bit speed selection (so, about 0.5% resolution)
5. Up to 2 stepper motors (unipolar or bipolar) with single coil, double coil, or interleaved stepping.

The L293D Motor Driver/Servo Shield for Arduino is probably one of the most versatile on the market and features 2 servo and 4 motor connectors for DC or stepper motors. That makes it a great shield for any robotic project.

This Arduino compatible motor Driver shield is a full-featured product that it can be used to drive 4 DC motor or two 4-wire steppers and two 5v servos. It drives the DC motor and stepper with the L293D, and it drives the servo with Arduino pin9 and pin10.

The shield contains two L293D motor drivers and one 74HC595 shift register. The shift register expands 3 pins of the Arduino to 8 pins to control the direction of the motor drivers. The output enables the L293D is directly connected to the PWM outputs of the Arduino.

Firmware

1. Arduino Stepper/Servo software library with microstepping support.
   To install, click on Downloadin the top right corner, select zip and uncompress the folder.
   Rename the folder to AF-motor (check that the renamed folder contains the .cpp and .h files) and install it into the Arduino sketches/libraries For information on how to use and install libraries, see our tutorial! This version now works with the Mega. Public domain!
2. AccelStepper librarywith AFMotor support. This library allows for advanced stepper control including acceleration and deceleration, and concurrent stepper control!
   To install, click on Download in the top right corner, select zip and uncompress the folder.
   Rename the folder to AF-motor (check that the renamed folder contains the .cpp and .h files) and install it into the Arduino sketches/libraries

Note:

Power for the motors can be supplied from the Arduino boards DC Jack (normally 9V) or from the 2-pin EXT-PWR terminal block. If you are supplying power from the EXT_PWR terminal block you should remove the PWR jumper or you could damage the shield and the Arduino board.
