What is L298 motor driver?

The L298 Driver is a high voltage, high current dual ful bridge driver designed to accept standard TTL logic levels and drive inductive loads such relays, solenoids, DC and stepping motors. Two enable inputs are provided to enable or disable the device independently of the input signals.

How do I connect my L298 motor driver?

Plug one motor into the terminal labelled OUT1 and OUT2. Plug the second motor into the terminal labelled OUT3 and OUT4: 2.) The row of pins on the bottom right of the L298N control the speed and direction of the motors.

How do I connect Arduino to motor driver?

Arduino Motor Control Setup

1. Connect 5V and ground of the IC to 5V and ground of Arduino.
2. Connect the motor to pins 2 and 3 of the IC.
3. Connect IN1 of the IC to pin 8 of Arduino.
4. Connect IN2 of the IC to pin 9 of Arduino.
5. Connect EN1 of IC to pin 2 of Arduino.
6. Connect SENS A pin of IC to the ground.

How is the l298n motor driver used in Arduino?

The L298N Motor Driver is a controller that uses an H-Bridge to easily control the direction and speed of up to 2 DC motors. This tutorial will show you how to use it. If playback doesn’t begin shortly, try restarting your device.

What are the output pins on the l298n?

Output Pins :The L298N motor driver’s output channels for the motor A and B are broken out to the edge of the module with two 3.5mm-pitch screw terminals. Direction Control Pins : The IN1 and IN2 pins control the direction of the motor A while IN3 and IN4 control the direction of the motor B.

What kind of motor driver do I need for Arduino?

The L298N Motor Driver Board is built around the L298 dual full-bridge driver, made by STMicroelectronics. With this motor driver you can control DC motors, stepper motors, relays, and solenoids. It comes with two separate channels, called A and B, that you can use to drive 2 DC motors, or 1 stepper motor when combined.

Which is the 5V supply for the l298n IC?

If the motors used are rated for 12V or less, then the 12V supply is given through this screw terminal and the onboard 5V regulator will provide the 5V logic supply to the L298N IC. You can also access this regulated 5V through the third pin in the 3-pin screw terminal block.
