Wiring and Interface Notes
Connect the motor power wires to a motor driver module like L298N or L293D. Use a 12V external power supply for the motor, and ensure common ground with the microcontroller. Always add a flyback diode (e.g., 1N4007) across the motor terminals to protect against inductive voltage spikes.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the stall current and how can I protect my circuit?
The motor typically draws around 2.5 A at stall. Use a power supply rated above 3 A and incorporate a fuse or overcurrent protection.
Can this motor be used with a simple transistor instead of a motor driver?
Yes, a MOSFET and flyback diode work for unidirectional control, but a motor driver is recommended for bidirectional operation and easier speed control.
