Build the L298 H-Bridge Motor Control      ...     9286 Views
Author's name: WeRbots       Author's ratings = 0

This is a how-to video for building an L298 Dual H-Bridge Motor Controller. I can`t wait to drive a robot with this controller.

This is a higher current model than the TI version used in the motor drivers that come with the picAxe evaluation boards.

The drivers can handle a couple of Amps each so this thing is fairly healthy. The issue is the strange pinout. You are almost assuredly stuck with having to create a PC board, and that was more work than I cared to create for myself.

So I bought the kit and put it together in a couple of hours. It worked fine and now I`m ready to put it to use.
