Product Description

Mini 4-Channel L293D Motor Drive Shield Module

= Compact Expansion Board for Arduino Motor Control Projects =

The L293D motor drive shield is a popular expansion board designed for Arduino UNO and MEGA 2560, enabling control of multiple motors with simple plugandplay functionality . This compact module uses two L293D ICs to drive up to 4 DC motors, 2 stepper motors, or 2 servo motors simultaneously .

Versatile Motor Control - Supports 4 DC motors, 2 stepper motors, or 2 servo motors
PlugandPlay Design - Easily stacks onto Arduino UNO or MEGA 2560
Input voltage range: 4.5V to 25V DC (up to 36V with component upgrades)
Output current: 600mA continuous, 1.2A peak per channel
Use separate external power supply for motors to avoid overloading Arduino's 5V regulator

= Troubleshooting =

Motor not responding:

  • Verify external power supply is connected (4.5V-25V DC)
  • Check motor voltage jumper setting (5V or ADJ)
  • Ensure pull-down resistors are not keeping motors disabled

Overheating:

  • Ensure load does not exceed 600mA continuous current per channel
  • Consider adding heatsinks for prolonged use
