L298N Motor / Stepper Driver

The original motor driver board used by thousands of makers across the globe! The famous L298N has become the default starting point for new makers learning robotics thanks to its simplicity, robustness and low cost.

Maximum current output is up to 2A(peak) per motor. The board includes built-in flyback/back EMF diodes for added protection.

If you apply power greater than 20V and enable the on board 5V regulator, the board and components will get quite warm (but this is normal).
