Everything You Want to Know About L298N - Vayuyaan If you’ve ever been curious about what the L298N motor driver module is, this guide will help you understand it. Learn what it does, how it works, and how to use it with an Arduino Uno R3. Read on to get started! After reading this guide, you’ll be well-equipped to use an L298N motor driver module in your next project! Here are some helpful tips! What is L298N Motor Driver If you’re looking for an inexpensive way to control two DC motors, the L298N motor driver is a good choice. It can control the speed and direction of two DC motors, including bipolar steppers such as the NEMA 17-type. It works by using a technique called L298N PWM to control input voltage, sending on-off pulses to the motors. Compared to ICs, breakout boards can be more convenient to prototype. The L298N motor driver has two channels, channel A and channel B. To operate the motor in channel A, connect pins Out 1 and Out 2. Then connect pins Enable A and Enable B to the motor. The Enable A pin must be high to turn the motor on. To operate the motor in the counterclockwise direction, make the Input 1 pin low. For this type of motor, the L298N motor driver is best used with a 5V power supply.
