L293D Motor Driver - Stepper Motor Driver Shield Expansion Board Fit for Arduino/Duemilanove/Raspberry Pi/Computer 2PCS

good job

Fit and worked properly, thank yoy

This is an Arduino shield, meaning you are to stack it on top of an Arduino you already own. That is not a shocking revelation, but just so you are aware of it. Additionally this board is based on an older design and I found it hard to find libraries to support it. I was able to get it to work with a servo motor easily. The board supports up to two servos with dedicated 3 pin connectors. I then tried to get it to work with a 4 pin stepper motor and could never get it to work. I am sure the issue is on my end given the number of YouTube videos showing it working, but I could not get it to work. The board is setup to control two stepper motors and has the ability to be connected to external power to power the motors. I used this feature, but again, no luck for me. The board is also set up to handle 4 DC motors, for a typical 4 wheeled robotic platform. I did not try this since I was frustrated after the stepper motor experience. As I said above, I don't think this a bad board, but it is based on an older design and for less experienced makers, I would suggest going with the new design.

Work and cost very little. Good store and product

Horrible does not work spent countless hours trying to get it to work and gave up and sent it back. Not worth your time.

I recently acquired this L293D motor driver, and I am thoroughly impressed! The price is great, offering excellent value for the quality you receive. The motor driver is well made and feels durable, ensuring reliable performance for various projects. I’ve tested it with both Arduino and Raspberry Pi, and it works exactly as advertised. The ease of integration and consistent performance make it a perfect choice for hobbyists and professionals alike. Overall, I highly recommend the L293D motor driver. It’s a fantastic addition to any electronics toolkit, especially for those working on Arduino and Raspberry Pi projects. If you’re looking for a reliable and well-made motor driver, this one is definitely worth considering.

A few of the pins were extremely bent I was able to bend them back but the board doesn’t sit completely flat on top of the arduino

I repurposed this module to interface with an Arduino that I was using for a led light project for. The board was used to drive the leds, not for driving a motor. It worked flawlessly. The board itself is made well. The screws on the terminal blocks tightened well without stripping. I have had other types of screws strip so I am very careful when tightening them down. You should also. Unfortunately only the pins needed from the Arduino are connected. It makes this board a dedicated device. For my purposes that was fine but it limits it's usefulness if you need other input sensor connections.
