Hw 130 Motor Control Shield For Arduino Datasheet Better ●
HW-130 Motor Control Shield is a popular clone of the original Adafruit Motor Shield v1 . It is designed for plug-and-play use with Arduino Uno
- The Big Chip(s): Look for the large black chips labeled L293D. This is the heart of the shield. It is a quadruple high-current half-H driver.
- The Shift Register: Look for a smaller chip, usually labeled 74HC595. This is a shift register.
- Input Voltage: 5V to 35V
- Output Current: 2A per channel
- Peak Output Current: 4A per channel
- Motor Type: DC motors, stepper motors
- Control Interface: Arduino compatible
- Protection: Overcurrent, overvoltage, thermal shutdown
- Dimensions: 53mm x 57mm x 23mm

When to upgrade:
Typical wiring diagrams
- Verify VIN and GND are connected and voltage present.
- Confirm Arduino pins match shield wiring and are set as outputs.
- Check PWM value >0 and DIR pin state correct.
- Servo 1: Connected to Arduino Digital Pin 10.
- Servo 2: Connected to Arduino Digital Pin 9.
