Description
The L298N driver is a device that can control the direction and speed of
operation of motors at a current output per channel of up to 2 [A]. This driver
It features a heat sink suitable for its characteristics, which can work up to
an input voltage of 46 [V], for safety it is recommended to use voltage levels
something below this limit value. The H L298N bridge can be used to drive motors
step by step of two phases (unipolar) or four phases (bipolar), or two DC motors
continuation (DC motors). This driver includes a 78M05 voltage regulator of 5 [V] that is
it should be used to regulate an input voltage of up to 12 [V], for input voltages
above 12 [V] it is recommended to disable the regulator jumper and power the logic part
of the module with an external power source of 5 [V]. This driver has a great filtering capacity of
noise, in addition to having a protection diode against reverse current, causing that
its operation is more stable and safe.

There are two ways to power this module:

1.- Using a single power supply connected to the Vin input (or 12V pin) and with
the regulator jumper installed to enable the regulator, clarifying that the voltage of the
source is what is sent to the engine. In this way, the logical V input or the 5V pin should not

this connection is for power supply voltages below 12V to avoid overheating the
regulator.

2.- Using two power supplies, one of 5V connected to the logical V input.
5V (it can be the 5V from an Arduino) and another power supply with the voltage value
that works the motor, connected to the Vin pin (or 12V pin). For this, it needs to be disconnected.
Or remove the regulator jumper, which will disable the voltage regulator.

For the control of the module, it is necessary to:

The ENA, IN1, IN2 pins correspond to the inputs for controlling MOTOR A (OUT1
y OUT2).

Similarly, ENB, IN3, IN4 allow control of MOTOR B (OUT3 and OUT4).

ENA and ENB are used to enable or disable their respective motors, generally they
They are used to control the speed, inputting a PWM signal through these pins. If not

the consumption should not exceed 500mA). Also, when the 5V regulator jumper is present
activated, the module allows a power supply of between 6V to 12V DC at Vin (since
the regulator only works with voltages of up to 12V), above this value we will have
to remove the regulator jumper and power the logic part of the module from another source with
5V.

Be careful if voltage is introduced through the logic V with the regulator jumper.

If the regulator jumper is removed, the regulator will be deactivated, and it will be necessary to power the
logical part of the module, so a voltage of 5V must be applied through the V connection.

DC Motor Control

Control of a DC Motor by varying its speed

To control the speed of the motor, PWM must be used. This PWM signal
will be applied to the activation pins of each output or pins ENA and ENB, respectively,
Therefore, the activation jumpers of the motors must be removed.

Control of a Bipolar Stepper Motor

Stepper motors can be unipolar or bipolar. In this example, we will
work with a bipolar stepper motor, knowing that the maximum permitted consumption is
of 2 [A].

Connection

The wiring diagram shows the connection used between the L298N module and the motor.
step by step. Each of the motor coils is connected to a motor output of the
module. To identify the coils of a stepper motor, a tester is used in mode
of continuity. The wires that provide continuity are the ends of each coil and must
be connected to the same engine output, that is, one end of the coil must be
connected to the output of motor A and the other end of the coil must be connected to the output
of motor B.

Code

The Arduino code makes the stepper motor rotate one turn in one direction and then
execute another turn in the opposite direction. This code makes use of the library 'Stepper.h', which
It is installed by default in the latest versions of the Arduino IDE.

The value of the variable stepsPerRevolution depends on the number of steps of the stepper motor.
