Preview – Arduino Motor Shield with L298P

Found another motor shield on AliExpress, this one has an L298 motor driver. What's interesting is that the braking function and current measurement are brought out. What is a preview: As I'm losing track of the ordered hardware more and more, I'll write a small preview after ordering. Then, when I get to the hardware...

FunduMoto L298P High Power Motor Driver Board

This add-on board has an L298P motor driver on board. This allows two DC motors to be operated with up to 2A. In addition, the board also has a buzzer and some connections that have been brought out. See also the diagram in the next chapter. I will keep the test very short and only [mention] the buzzer and…

NodeMCU V2 Motor Board

There is an expansion board with a motor driver for the NodeMCU V2. It allows two small motors (up to 1.2 Amperes) to be controlled via an L293DD motor driver. It is also possible to connect a stepper motor. Furthermore, it offers two separate connections for the power supply of the board and the motors. Most of the ESP pins are brought out with an additional ground/power pin, which makes connecting...
