dil_bert Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 (edited) hello dear PHP-Freaks and good day dear experts good day dear all - well lemme start so: i am pretty new to Arduino, but I have to figure this out. Well - that being said, I have a problem, and I'm not sure if I can even solve it with the components I have. Basically I need to use some sort of an Arduino to power a DC motor, and that needs to be controlled via the program. I'm using an Arduino Nano, a breadboard, a motor controller (L298N), a DC motor, and a battery. I have all the necessary cables and wires. But i must say. i really love the L298 - it is great! BTW can i use a ordinary motor and replace a N20 with each DC Motor - what are the advantages of the N20? i found a great tutorial for the L298 - this one https://tronixlabs.com.au/news/tutorial-l298n-dual-motor-controller-module-2a-and-arduino/ Quote In this tutorial we'll explain how to use our L298N H-bridge Dual Motor Controller Module 2A with Arduino. This allows you to control the speed and direction of two DC motors, or control one bipolar stepper motor with ease. The L298N H-bridge module can be used with motors that have a voltage of between 5 and 35V DC. There is also an onboard 5V regulator, so if your supply voltage is up to 12V you can also source 5V from the board. These L298 H-bridge dual motor controller modules are inexpensive and available from the Tronixlabs Australia store. Furthermore if you're completely new to the world of Arduino we highly recommend you review a copy of "Arduino Workshop". So let's get started! love to hear from you Edited July 20, 2019 by dil_bert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
