What is your go to DC motor driver for Arduino projects

colporteur

My post  Raising the Bridge...Automation with Arduino: Failure reconciliation  details some of my failures with the L293N & L298N motor drivers.

Now I find myself looking for another DC motor driver. What DC motor driver do you use in Arduino projects? Why is it you motor driver of choice? Is there a Arduino library for the module or do you roll your own.

  • I can suggest popular DC motor drivers often used in Arduino projects:

    1. L298N: This is a widely used dual H-bridge motor driver that can control two DC motors. It's affordable and works well for small to medium-sized projects.

    2. L293D: Another dual H-bridge motor driver that's compatible with Arduino. It's suitable for controlling two motors bidirectionally.

    3. Adafruit Motor Shield: This is a shield designed for Arduino boards that can control up to 4 DC motors or 2 stepper motors. It offers more advanced features and is great for larger projects.

    4. TB6612FNG: This is a compact and efficient motor driver that can control one DC motor or a stepper motor. It's a good choice for smaller projects with space constraints.

    5. DRV8833: A small and low-cost motor driver that can control one DC motor. It's suitable for basic motor control needs.

    Your choice of motor driver depends on your project's specific requirements, such as the number of motors you need to control, the power requirements, and any additional features you may need. Be sure to check compatibility with your Arduino board and the motor specifications before selecting a motor driver.
