L293D Motor control Module Tutorial - Run motors off the Arduino

I recommend this Arduino and sensors kit to get started with Arduino:
usa.banggood.com/custlink/GKD...
This is a reliable L293D board:
usa.banggood.com/custlink/DGm...
Recommended soldering iron: TS100:
usa.banggood.com/custlink/vv3...
This tutorial covers the L293D Module. The L293D is a motor control module or an l293 motor driver. It comes in various forms, this one is an expansion shield, which means it stacks on top of the arduino. This L293D module can run 4 DC motors at a time, conversely, it can run 2 Stepper and 2 servo motors at a time. The L293D is a very useful module for Arduino projects like robotics, rovers, cars, line follower robots, etc.
This video covers L293D connection to arduino, coding the L293D for running motors and servos, and running motors with external power supply with L293D motor shield.
Hope you liked the tutorial on L293D expansion module for Arduino.

Omg I’ve been searching for your vid for forever! Thank you for a true and basic knowledge on how to control and programme!

[@virendrasinhvaghela9579]

Nice

[@TOYMALLMANJERI]

PERFECTLY DONE .

[@Ed19601]

Thanks. Very useful. Afaik the shield can not only run 2 stepper motors and 2 servos it can run those servos just as well together with 4 dc motors. The servos are not controlled y the l293D but by pwm pins of the arduino so are completely separate from the amount of dc motors or stepper motors

[@laserdad]

Great job of explaining how the code works. Most others just skip over it.

[@johnlestercedalla9230]

Thankyou, it's very useful

[@sumantakumardutta986]

[@user-xg4wn2pc1j]

Excellent ...keep it up sir..👏 👏 👏

[@lgs4854]

Great Video!

[@smilingladka]

You posted that library part a bit quickly. Got confused what to. Brilliant tutorial tho ♥

[@sagnikbiswas4457]

Nice tutorial

[@karthik8182]

There are more other types of motor drive's are explain that also please

[@SchwanaCARDHUT]

Hello , very useful! information in detail on motor shield (L293D Module) with Arduino thanks so much ................

[@Fungineers]

Thanks for appreciating my work.

[@enriquehehezs4628]

is there a way to make the motors run in turns? thank you for this video btw

[@innayafauziahm6001]

Thanks... That's greet...

[@jishabenny9183]

sir , in my moter driver shield l293d, when i connect moters it is not working. i am useing 12 volt battery, plzz reply.

[@vikasprajapati941]

Ooh it's really cool but make some tutorial on stepper motor. I've understand this now.

[@laudonidelia]

Great video! :)

[@kirandutta4113]

I had a problem to connect this ..the problem is that if I connect both Arduino and motor driver to battery then motor driver light on but when I connect both battery and laptop cable to Adriano it will only on Adriano..... 😭..why

[@anaslabanie471]

very good 👍

[@zwekoko6768]

Could please present how to combine PSX2 lib and Adafruit lib

[@pratikjambotkar4626]

Sir can you help me to add two potentiometer for control two stepper motor speed and one stepper motor to change direction by any trigger like limit switch ... This setup is possible?? On L293D ??

[@hizonopusdie]

Another great video :) Got a request though can you make a tutorial like this, using DC motor and Servo motor with bluetooth

[@tonibusljeta1325]

i wuld like to see this turtorial, if you can share it :)

[@lukman6762]

Very nice video ! Thanks a lot ! May i ask. Can you explain how to connect this stepper motor controller with a switch

[@elmahdielmahdi6895]

very nice Thank you ;)

[@prikundnani2622]

I appreciate you going in detail about every function

[@Bianchi77]

Cool info, thanks :)

[@SK_Senthil]

Great video and explanation 👏👏👏 You have mentioned in the video about A0-A5 can be soldered! What about Digital pins? I need to connect D3-D6 for some other sensors! How to do that with L293D !

[@Fungineers]

Thanks. You can use analog pins as digital too.

[@syedashfaquddin2941]

What should be the external power max. Voltage and min. Voltage for motor driver shield please reply

[@ixanagi_]

I am currently using it in motor 4, but I don't know what digital pin to code it into.

[@tb2.0editz26]

can we give power supply to the motor shield by using 12 v adapter plus minus to the point of motor shield

[@joelortiz8833]

Hola q tal disculpa le quería poner unas 4 baterías 18650 de 4.7 volts y 8800mAh cada una mi pregunta era si el motor shield con el arduino lo soportan. PD. Estoy alimentando 4 motores, un servo y un ultrasonico

[@ES-ll5uv]

How can i randomise the intervals of a servo movement? Like lets say i want robot eyes to open and close at random times. And to keep doing that, until power is shut off.

[@vinodnadoni5047]

good explaination.but i want to know which pins of arduino send motor driving signals to the driver shield.

[@Rakeshpattar5]

Had a doubt about connection of HC-05 to motor driver when staggered the you showed in video

[@valenrocco618]

alo , nice video , could you tale me how to conect an ultrasonic sensor

[@georgekot6377]

Please correct me if I am wrong but I think the shield can run 4 dc motors OR 2 stepper motors OR 2 servos. I do like the presentation of the video.

[@mirelpera2573]

Very nice tutorial. I was wondering if a temperature sensor can be added in the scheme in order to change the rotation direction of the motors depending on the temperature read? Thank you.

[@ExtantFrodo2]

You can use the 3x6 grid of connections to the +5, Ground and A0-A5 shown at 4:13 - 4:57 in the usual way.

[@heinzvarghese4893]

A great explanation my friend. I just like to ask whether I need to remove the jumper clip from the motor shield while the motor shield and Arduino is run by only an external power source?

[@RijushreeGuha]

Thanku sir u just cleared all my doubts love from india 🇮🇳

[@CHANDRAKANTH-pk6dg]

Can we connect 5v leds to motor driver and also blinks them.

[@Bravaliya]

Good knowledge 👌 Which is the best wifi module for this type of setup ? Can I connect Nodemcu ESP2866 with this setup ?

[@circuitguru4554]

Hello! I was looking for this video! It is amazing. Question.... What Voltage did you use for those batteries. It may be 6volts?? Also, could I put 2 3volt battery packs together (2 positive wires into the + screw terminal, and 2 negative wires into the - screw terminal for the power (The 2 + and - wires from both the battery packs)) Thanks! I am asking this because I don’t have a 6 volt battery pack, so I was wondering if I could combine 2 3 volt battery packs.

[@farazalam7021]

How to run stepper motar

[@mayankdhameliya5931]

Hey ,Very useful video. Keep it up man. One quick question, can I use this motor shield for control 6 dc motor(forward/ backward) If not,what I can use instead.

[@Fungineers]

Thanks buddy. You can do up to 4 motors. You will have to stack another shield on top to control 8 motors. But battery voltage will also have to double.

[@mayankdhameliya5931]

@@Fungineers thank you🙂

[@hrishikeshsamant4857]

Thanks bro..I had completely forgot all the functions and codes

[@Fungineers]

Sometimes I forget too...then I watch my previous videos haha

[@nagasaikatakamsetty3969]

I have connected 5V 2A to shield. Tried with/without jumper. Arduino is not powered up and not detected. any help is appreciated.

[@MrHomyachek]

How to connect the stepping motor from the scanner so that he plays music like on the youtube channel floppotron?

[@ethanblanca5573]

May I please ask if it has the same functions with the module version of the L293D?

[@circuitguru4554]

Another Question also. How can I attach these pins for the Digital and Analog pins without soldering iron?

[@miaw7014]

Can you post the codes (please reply urgently)

[@himanshubhoria1832]

How do I use the digital pins to connect sensors/modules? I want to connect an ultrasonic sensor, a bluetooth module, and 4 dc motors.

[@slkandy4136]

Can i use that to start a cooling fan

[@rohanpawar8259]

Can we control 100-150 12v dc motors using such configuration?

[@6f4hf]

it gives me an error:"no such file or directory" I downloaded the library and it is in the include libraries tab
