L293D Motor control Module Tutorial - Run motors off the Arduino

I recommend this Arduino and sensors kit to get started with Arduino:
usa.banggood.com/custlink/GKD...
This is a reliable L293D board:
usa.banggood.com/custlink/DGm...
Recommended soldering iron: TS100:
usa.banggood.com/custlink/vv3...
This tutorial covers the L293D Module. The L293D is a motor control module or an l293 motor driver. It comes in various forms, this one is an expansion shield, which means it stacks on top of the arduino. This L293D module can run 4 DC motors at a time, conversely, it can run 2 Stepper and 2 servo motors at a time. The L293D is a very useful module for Arduino projects like robotics, rovers, cars, line follower robots, etc.
This video covers L293D connection to arduino, coding the L293D for running motors and servos, and running motors with external power supply with L293D motor shield.
Hope you liked the tutorial on L293D expansion module for Arduino.

Perfect explanation. Thank you

[@TOYMALLMANJERI]

PERFECTLY DONE .

[@LIGHTBULBCODING]

PERFECT! Just what I needed!

[@Ed19601]

Thanks. Very useful. Afaik the shield can not only run 2 stepper motors and 2 servos it can run those servos just as well together with 4 dc motors.
The servos are not controlled y the l293D but by pwm pins of the arduino so are completely separate from the amount of dc motors or stepper motors

[@napkin62]

nice tutorial understand two dc motor and one servo motor function ....in one adafruit board tnx buddy...god bless you ..

[@hrishikeshsamant4857]

Thanks bro..I had completely forgot all the functions and codes

[@Fungineers]

Sometimes I forget too...then I watch my previous videos haha

[@EMCKiMiKiN]

¡Excelente Explicación!, fue tan sencilla, que a partir de ella adapté para controlar 2 motores DC avanzando y en reversa, aquí el código:
#include
AF_DCMotor motor1(1);
AF_DCMotor motor2(2);
void setup() {
// Configurar Velocidad del Motor e iniciar apagado para luego encenderlo en el Loop
motor1.setSpeed(200);
motor1.run(RELEASE);
motor2.setSpeed(200);
motor2.run(RELEASE);
}
void loop() {
motor1.run(FORWARD); // Avanzar Motor 1
delay(3000);
motor1.run(RELEASE); // Detener Motor 1
motor2.run(FORWARD); // Avanzar Motor 2
delay(3000);
motor2.run(RELEASE); // Detener Motor 2
motor1.run(BACKWARD);// Retroceder Motor 1
delay(3000);
motor1.run(RELEASE); // Detener Motor 1
motor2.run(BACKWARD);// Retroceder Motor 2
delay(3000);
motor2.run(RELEASE);// Detener Motor 2
}

[@dopierbasher2808]

Cual es la libreria?

[@elmahdielmahdi6895]

very nice Thank you ;)

[@georgekot6377]

Please correct me if I am wrong but I think the shield can run 4 dc motors OR 2 stepper motors OR 2 servos. I do like the presentation of the video.

[@angelorondini5835]

11:50
To make the servo return to it's initial position you have to set it to 0 degrees not -20

[@ethanblanca5573]

May I please ask if it has the same functions with the module version of the L293D?

[@lukman6762]

Very nice video ! Thanks a lot ! May i ask. Can you explain how to connect this stepper motor controller with a switch

[@ahmedsamir330]

Perfect :*

[@heinzvarghese4893]

A great explanation my friend. I just like to ask whether I need to remove the jumper clip from the motor shield while the motor shield and Arduino is run by only an external power source?

[@vinodnadoni5047]

good explaination.but i want to know which pins of arduino send motor driving signals to the driver shield.

[@virendrasinhvaghela9579]

Nice

[@SK_Senthil]

Great video and explanation 👏👏👏
You have mentioned in the video about A0-A5 can be soldered! What about Digital pins?
I need to connect D3-D6 for some other sensors! How to do that with L293D !

[@Fungineers]

Thanks. You can use analog pins as digital too.

[@tb2.0editz26]

can we give power supply to the motor shield by using 12 v adapter plus minus to the point of motor shield

[@peterfarquharson9777]

thx

[@circuitguru4554]

Another Question also. How can I attach these pins for the Digital and Analog pins without soldering iron?

[@circuitguru4554]

Hello! I was looking for this video! It is amazing. Question.... What Voltage did you use for those batteries. It may be 6volts?? Also, could I put 2 3volt battery packs together (2 positive wires into the + screw terminal, and 2 negative wires into the - screw terminal for the power (The 2 + and - wires from both the battery packs)) Thanks! I am asking this because I don’t have a 6 volt battery pack, so I was wondering if I could combine 2 3 volt battery packs.

[@Bravaliya]

Good knowledge 👌
Which is the best wifi module for this type of setup ?
Can I connect Nodemcu ESP2866 with this setup ?

[@ramudukuruva3268]

Hey fungineers, This tutorial was helpful. But, I am not able to decide which battery to use when using 4 DC motors with one shield. Thanks in advance.

[@niceman567]

thanks for the video. does this motor shield give the ability to control both motor to run in sync? I have problem getting my 2 dc motors to run in sync, my robot does not go straight. I am wondering if this thing is what I need to save me the task to look into PID control.

[@Rakeshpattar5]

Had a doubt about connection of HC-05 to motor driver when staggered the you showed in video

[@ElPolloPolloPollo]

Thank you so much for this video. Very thorough. One thing I’m still confused about is the Rx/Tx connection for this shied. I saw a video where someone connected their Bluetooth module to the servo pins, for power, ground, Tx, and Rx. The app I’m using as a GamePad controller is not recognizing the board, and I’m thinking I should just solder two wires to the Tx and Rx soldering that correspond to pins 1 and 2 on the arduino. I know these are used for serial communication with the arduino and that I would have to just disconnected the Bluetooth module before connecting to my computer.
Any thoughts about the Servo pins serving as a connection point for the Bluetooth module?

[@piolho278]

GOOD!

[@MrHomyachek]

How to connect the stepping motor from the scanner so that he plays music like on the youtube channel floppotron?

[@Carob75]

Thankyou for this Video. I have purchased one of these shields to run a large 12v motor. What is the best solution to power the motor? I want to handle approx. 100A at 12V. Can I run the program through an Arduino, to this Shield (powered at 12V) to a relay on each motor out line? Will a relay react fast enough to deal with the PWM of the Arduino?

[@saviopullkotil2270]

Hey, I had a doubt in our project we are using 6 motors so can you suggest whhich drivers should we use to connect all of them as L293D and L298N permits 4 and 2 motors to use

[@xempai2279]

my motor was turning back and forth when i made a project and my control button is not working from when i downloaded the library from the website u have given

[@mirelpera2573]

Very nice tutorial. I was wondering if a temperature sensor can be added in the scheme in order to change the rotation direction of the motors depending on the temperature read? Thank you.

[@ExtantFrodo2]

You can use the 3x6 grid of connections to the +5, Ground and A0-A5 shown at 4:13 - 4:57 in the usual way.

[@Ran_Rider]

Interesting driver motor, my question is this motor shield comlatible to solar pump 12V, 180W?
tnx

[@enriquehehezs4628]

is there a way to make the motors run in turns? thank you for this video btw

[@trendingvideostrendingvide9174]

May you explain how does internal circuit exactly work

[@biswajyotisengupta1174]

Can I use 6 motors using this driver? 12 volt dc bo motor and connecting it to only the m1 & m2 terminals i.e. shorting the wires of left side on m1 and right side on m2 port?

[@himanshubhoria1832]

How do I use the digital pins to connect sensors/modules? I want to connect an ultrasonic sensor, a bluetooth module, and 4 dc motors.

[@Draginx]

the led didnt turn on when i connected the power supply. Does this mean its broken and i have to buy a new one?

[@thaddeusaldrinreyes6981]

If I'm going to attach a second servo, what should i put in x in servo2.attach(x)?

[@jishabenny9183]

sir , in my moter driver shield l293d, when i connect moters it is not working. i am useing 12 volt battery, plzz reply.

[@slkandy4136]

Can i use that to start a cooling fan

[@diye.28]

So I assume I’ll have to get another arduino because after I hook it up, I won’t be able to use the digital pins from 0 to 13 if I want to connect leds, or other sensors… am I right ?
