L293D Motor Driver Shield

L293D Motor Driver Shield

This L293D is a monolithic integrated, high voltage, high current, 4 channel driver. With this you can use DC motors and power supplies of up to 36 Volts. it can drive some pretty big motors and it can supply a maximum current of 600mA per channel, the L293D chis is also known as a type of H-Bridge. The H-Bridge is typically an electrical circuit that enables a voltage to be applied across a load in either direction to a load.
