What is included and how it works The module centers on the L298N dual Hbridge IC, delivering dual chan nel motor drive with direction and speed control. Screwtype terminals provide connections for motor outputs, motor supply (Vm), and ground. Logic inputs (IN1, IN2, IN3, IN4) receive control signals from a microcontroller; enable pins allow PWMbased speed control. An aluminum heat sink is attached to assist thermal management during operation. The board can power two DC motors or a single bipolar stepper motor, enabling a variety of small robotics configurations. Compatibility and usage notes Works with common microcontrollers (Arduino, Raspberry Pi through GPIO, and other 5V/TTLcompatible controllers). Logic input signals are designed for standard microcontroller interfaces; ensure your control signals are within the board's logic voltage range. Use appropriate motor supply voltage within the board's rated range and provide adequate heat dissipation for sustained operation. If the board includes a 5V regulator jumper, it may provide logic power from the motor supply; follow the specific board's wiring guidance for regulator use. Two to three use cases Small robotic rover: drive two small DC motors for autonomous navigation or a trackbased rover, with PWM speed control for smooth acceleration and deceleration. Desktop CNC or stepperbased positioning: drive a bipolar stepper motor for basic positioning tasks in a compact milling or laser engraving setup. Pantilt or robotic arm actuator: control two joints or a single joint with a bipolar stepper to achieve bidirectional rotation and configurable speeds in a compact mechanism. In summary, the Mini Victory L298N Dual HBridge Drive Module provides a reliable, compact solution for bidirectional motor control in small projects. It supports two DC motors or one bipolar stepper, offers PWM speed control, and includes thermal management suitable for hobbyist robotics, automation, and DIY tooling.
