Wiring and Interface Notes
Connect the motor terminals to the output of an L298N or L293D driver IC. Provide 12V DC to the driver's power input and connect logic pins to your microcontroller's PWM-capable GPIOs. Always add a 0.1μF capacitor across the motor terminals to reduce electrical noise.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I directly connect this motor to an Arduino pin?
No, it requires a motor driver IC like L298N or L293D to handle the current.
What is the maximum load it can move?
In a typical 4-wheel chassis with 65mm wheels, it can pull up to 2 kg on smooth surfaces.
