It uses the L298N IC with an onboard 5V regulator and heat sink, making it a practical choice for robotics and automation projects that need bidirectional motor control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMotor Supply Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6V – 46V DC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLogic Supply Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5V (jumper-selectable onboard regulator)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMax Continuous Current Per Channel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePeak Current Per Channel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3A (short duration)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eControl Interface\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6 pins: IN1, IN2, IN3, IN4, ENA, ENB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You Can Build With This\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/kit-arduino-clap-controlled-robot-car\"\u003eArduino-controlled 2WD robot car with speed and direction control\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAutomated curtain opener using a DC motor and timing logic\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/cnc-plotter-kit-with-arduino-uno-and-nema-stepper-motors\"\u003eDIY CNC plotter driven by a bipolar stepper motor\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBluetooth-controlled motorized camera slider for smooth pans\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe L298N module works seamlessly with Arduino Uno, Mega, Nano, and any 5V-logic microcontroller. It can also be used with 3.3V boards like Raspberry Pi Pico if the logic pins are properly level-shifted. Typical motor supplies of 7–12V match common battery packs and adapters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWiring Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConnect the motor power supply to the 12V input terminal and logic power to the 5V pin (or enable the onboard regulator via the jumper). For PWM speed control, remove the ENA and ENB jumpers and connect those pins to PWM-capable Arduino outputs. Never exceed 2A continuous per channel, and attach a heat sink if the driver runs near its limits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from Compoden\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery component is sourced from verified suppliers and tested for compatibility before listing. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. Ships from Bengaluru in 3-5 days. If defective on arrival, replace within 7 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eIs this compatible with Arduino Uno?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, the L298N module uses 5V logic levels, making it directly compatible with Arduino Uno, Mega, and similar boards. Just wire the input pins to digital outputs and the enable pins to PWM pins for speed control.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eCan it drive a NEMA 17 stepper motor?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, the L298N can drive a bipolar stepper motor, including NEMA 17, by connecting the two phases to the dual H-bridge outputs and sequencing the control inputs properly. Current capacity should match the motor's rating.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eWhat power supply do I need?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse a DC power supply that matches your motors’ voltage (up to 46V) and can deliver at least the combined continuous current draw of both motors. A 7.4V Li-Po or a 12V wall adapter is typical for small robotics projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"compoden-handoff\" style=\"margin-top:24px;padding:16px;background:#f0f4ff;border-left:4px solid #2B4D8F;border-radius:4px;\"\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 6px 0;font-weight:600;color:#1A3560;\"\u003e📦 Free Setup Handoff Document Included\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin:0;font-size:0.95em;color:#333;\"\u003eEvery Compoden order includes a free setup handoff document — step-by-step instructions to get your component working within minutes.
