Motors will last much longer and be more reliable if controlled through PWM. The longer the pulses the faster the wheel will turn, the shorter the pulses, the slower the water wheel will turn. Take the water wheel analogy and think of the water hitting it in pulses but at a constant flow. Motors are rated at certain voltages and can be damaged if the voltage is applied too heavily or if it is dropped quickly to slow the motor down. The voltage would be the water flowing over the wheel at a constant rate, the more water flowing the higher the voltage. In motors try to imagine the brush as a water wheel and electrons as the flowing droplets of water.

Pulse Width Modulation is a means of controlling the duration of an electronic pulse. An H-Bridge is a circuit that can drive a current in either polarity and be controlled by Pulse Width Modulation (PWM). Perfect for driving DC for micro mouse, line-following robots, robot arms, etc.

This Motor Driver is perfect for robotics and mechatronics projects and perfect for controlling motors from microcontrollers, switches, relays, etc. It can control up to 4 DC motors, or 2 DC motors with directional and speed control. H Bridge Driver Module uses the popular L298 motor driver IC and has the onboard 5V regulator which it can supply to an external circuit.

If you want to control the speed of motors, you need to remove the jumpers and connect them to PWM-enabled pins on Arduino.This L298N Based Motor Driver Module is a high power motor driver perfect for driving DC Motors. When this jumper is in place, the motor is enabled and spins at maximum speed. The module usually comes with a jumper on these pins.

Speed Control Pins :ENA and ENB are used to turn the motors ON, OFF and control its speed. Output Pins : The L298N motor driver’s output channels for the motor A and B are broken out to the edge of the module with two 3.5mm-pitch screw terminals.ĭirection Control Pins : The IN1 and IN2 pins control the direction of the motor A while IN3 and IN4 control the direction of the motor B. Warning : if the motor power supply is greater than 12V, you should remove the jumper to avoid the on-board 5V regulator from getting damaged.Also DO NOT supply power to both the motor power supply input and 5V power supply input when jumper is in place. And they both sink to a common ground named ‘ GND ’. ' Vss ' is used for driving the logic circuitry which can be 5 to 7V. Power Supply : From ' Vs ' pin the H-Bridge gets its power for driving the motors which can be 5 to 35V. The L298N is a dual-channel H-Bridge motor driver capable of driving a 2x DC motors, making it ideal for building two-wheel robots. This leads to a change in the direction of the motor. H-Bridge – For controlling rotation direction: An H-Bridge circuit contains four switches with the motor at the center forming an H, closing two particular switches at the same time reverses the polarity of the voltage applied to the motor.

PWM – For controlling speed: PWM is a technique where average value of the input voltage is adjusted by sending a series of On/OFF pulses, the average voltage is proportional to the width of the pulses known as Duty Cycle.The higher the duty cycle, the greater the average voltage applied to the dc motor this lead to the highest speed.
