L293D Motor Driver Board

<p>The L293D Motor Driver/Servo Shield for Arduino is probably one of the most versatile on the market and features 2 servo and 4 motor connectors for DC or stepper motors. That makes it a great shield for any robotic project.</p> <p>This Arduino compatible motor Driver shield is a full-featured product that it can be used to drive 4 DC motor or two 4-wire steppers and two 5v servos. It drives the DC motor and stepper with the L293D, and it drives the servo with Arduino pin9 and pin10.</p> <p>The shield contains two L293D motor drivers and one 74HC595 shift register. The shift register expands 3 pins of the Arduino to 8 pins to control the direction of the motor drivers. The output enables the L293D is directly connected to the PWM outputs of the Arduino.</p> <h5 class=""textblockheader"">Firmware</h5> <div class=""textblock""> <ol> <li><a href=""https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit-Motor-Shield-library"" target=""_blank"" rel=""noopener noreferrer"">Arduino Stepper/Servo software library with microstepping support</a>.<br />To install, click on <strong>Download</strong> in the top right corner, select <strong>zip</strong> and uncompress the folder.<br />Rename the folder to <strong>AF-motor</strong> (check that the renamed folder contains the .cpp and .h files) and install it into the Arduino sketches<strong>/libraries</strong> folder. <a href=""https://learn.adafruit.com/arduino-tips-tricks-and-techniques/arduino-libraries"" target=""_blank"" rel=""noopener noreferrer"">For information on how to use and install libraries, see our tutorial!</a> This version now works with the Mega.
