L298N controller module for DC and stepper motors - Arduino

L298N is a high power motor controller. Allows control of two DC motors or one two-phase stepper motor.

The circuit can be controlled with an Arduino by connecting its pins to the following inputs of the circuit: IN1, IN2, IN3, IN4. By applying a high state to these pins, we control the direction of rotation of each channel.

The H-bridge has a voltage stabilizer that, when the 5V Enable jumper is inserted (see pic. below) provides 5V at the +5V Power output (see pic. below) from which you can power, for example, the Arduino.

A separate higher voltage (up to 24V) is connected to the 12V pins and ground to GND from which the motors will be powered.

High current capacity of 2A per channel gives the possibility to use larger motors.
