The (frequently referred to as the L293D Motor Shield V1) is a versatile expansion board designed for the Arduino Uno and Mega. It serves as a comprehensive "plug-and-play" solution for controlling up to four DC motors , two stepper motors , and two 5V hobby servos simultaneously. HW-130 Technical Specifications
Thermal shutdown protection and internal kickback protection diodes. Pinout and Connectivity
4.5V to 25V (though typically used at 5V–12V). hw 130 motor control shield for arduino datasheet free
2 stepper motors (unipolar or bipolar).
4 bi-directional DC motors with 8-bit speed selection (~0.5% resolution). The (frequently referred to as the L293D Motor
2 connections for 5V hobby servos using the Arduino's high-resolution timers. Current Output: 600mA continuous per channel (1.2A peak).
The shield simplifies wiring by bringing out most Arduino pins to terminal blocks and headers. L293D Based Arduino Motor Shield Pinout and Connectivity 4
The core of the HW-130 is the L293D dual H-bridge chipset , which handles high-voltage and high-current inductive loads.
2 x L293D Motor Drivers + 1 x 74HC595 Shift Register.
