What Motor Driver is Best for Arduino?

I am wanting to create a WiFi car but I am debating on what motor driver to use…I want to use it with my Arduino Uno or ESP32.

Parents

  • For a "smart car"  depends on the motor voltage, motor amps (and stall current), and if you want to use motor encoders.

     

    The L298N are good for 12V 2 amps, easy to interface to different controllers.

    The L293D is 1.2A peak.

     

    My Power Wheels cars with Arduino controls, use these H bridges:

    IBT-4 (5-15V/50A) H-bridge High-power Motor Driver Module Smart Car. This H bridge works exactly the same as

    L298N Motor Driver, but obviously has alot more oomph.

    These run open loop voltage control, same as L298N. 

     

    For Arduino MKR1000 smart car, this shield is good for using encoder feedback. (but a bit pricey. So are the gearmotors with encoders). https://store.arduino.cc/usa/mkr-motor-carrier
