Built around dual L293D H-bridge driver ICs, this shield allows you to control up to four DC motors or two stepper motors, along with two servo motors, all from a single board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned to stack directly onto compatible boards such as Arduino UNO, Mega, Duemilanove, and Leonardo, the shield simplifies wiring and reduces the number of pins required through its integrated 74HC595 shift register. This makes it ideal for robotics, automation systems, RC vehicles, and educational projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith support for motor voltages from 4.5V to 12V and logic voltage from 4.5V to 5.5V, the module suits a wide range of small to medium motors. Each channel provides up to 1.2A peak current with built-in thermal protection for reliable operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe board also includes dedicated servo ports connected to pins 9 and 10, external power terminals for separating logic and motor supply, and large screw terminals for easy wiring using 10–22AWG wire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControl up to 4 DC motors or 2 stepper motors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual L293D H-bridge drivers for bidirectional control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 dedicated 5V servo ports (pins 9 and 10)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated 74HC595 shift register to reduce pin usage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMotor voltage range 4.5V to 36V (higher voltages require lower current to reduce risk of damage)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLogic voltage range 4.5V to 5.5V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUp to 1.2A peak current per channel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThermal shutdown protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeparate motor and logic power supply terminals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarge screw terminals for easy wiring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with Arduino UNO, Mega, Duemilanove, and Leonardo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 53mm × 70mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eApplications\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRobotics and smart vehicles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCNC and automation systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDIY RC cars and projects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEducational Arduino kits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Zaitronics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52654243184932,"sku":"Z0472","price":8.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0870\/0021\/9940\/files\/S55ec47a73ef94602aa33297a0c12c1fbf_jpg_960x960q75_jpg.avif?v=1774669582","url":"https:\/\/zaitronics.com.au\/products\/l293d-motor-driver-shield-4-channel-dc-stepper-motor-control","provider":"Zaitronics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
