The L298N H-bridge motor controller module - basics

Описание: This video shows you how the powerful, yet inexpensive L298N motor controller works to control speed and direction of one servo motor, two standard DC motors, and other inductive loads like relays and solenoids.

The L298N H-bridge motor controller is pretty old, and there is a newer, more efficient one available called the TB6612FNG.

Note: Thanks to Chor Hon Yong for pointing out that at 8:55 ENB should correspond with IN3 and IN4, not IN1 and IN2 in the motor truth table.

I’m not an expert, but I have figured it out well enough to make what I think is a pretty clear and complete basic ‘primer’ on this device. Whether it’s right for your project is up to you to determine, but here’s info about the module itself, and especially about the mysterious jumpers (at least they were the biggest mystery to me).

Read the comments below for a lot of clarity on this thing!

I have another video about the L298N here:    • L298N Enable - Short Demo

Multi-meters on Amazon: https://amzn.to/2PFzkrS
You can get some very nice meters for around $35.00 or so. Basic functions I would look for would be: autoranging, continuity testing (beeper sounds upon short circuits); and a stand.
