An H-Bridge capable to drive 2 motors in the 2 rotations direction
Here is a really useful breakout board! Based on a L298N (Double H-bridge) it contains all the elements needed to easily motorize two continuous motors from a microcontroller. The breakout board can be connected directly to a microcontroller.
Since the heart of this product is a double H-bridge L298, each of the motor is controllable in both directions of rotation!
It is also possible to control the speed of these by applying a PWM signal on the corresponding "Enable" pin of the H-bridge.
Our breakout board has a dissipation circuit, which allows it to maintain a current of 2 amperes. It can power your motors using an independent voltage source (up to ~35V DC).
Equipped with its essential protection diodes but also a voltage regulator, the designers of this breakout board has also provided connections "Current Sense" allowing the measurement in real time of the loads of the H-bridge. This feature is not active by default but remains fully accessible when needed.
This breakout board is also suitable for the control of a 4-wire stepper motor (see our documentation).
