The L293D Motor Driver Shield for Arduino is a plug-and-play motor shield for Arduino Uno that drives up to 4 DC motors, 2 stepper motors, or 2 servo motors simultaneously. It stacks directly on the Arduino for quick robot prototyping.
Key features
- Plug-and-play shield for Arduino Uno/Nano/Mega
- 4 DC motors or 2 stepper motors or 2 servo motors
- 600mA per channel (1.2A peak)
- 2 servo headers for pan/tilt or steering
- Stackable design with pass-through headers
- LED indicators for motor direction
- External power terminal for motor supply
Good to know
- Must power Arduino via external supply or USB + motor power via terminal
- 600mA limit per channel – use L298N for higher current motors
- Servo power comes from Arduino 5V – limited to ~500mA total
- Remove jumper if powering motors separately from Arduino
- Cannot stack with other shields using same pins
- Pins D3, D5, D6, D9, D10, D11 used by shield
