📌 Code Examples & Usage – Mini 4-Channel L293D Motor Driver Module (HW-310)

📋 Overview

The HW-310 L293D motor driver module is a compact dual H-bridge motor controller capable of driving:

  • 2 × DC motors (forward / reverse)

  • 1 × stepper motor

  • 4 independent outputs for small motors or loads

It is ideal for:

  • Robot cars & tanks

  • Small CNC / motion projects

  • STEM & education kits

  • Arduino / ESP32 motor control

  • Relay replacement for bidirectional loads


⚙ Key Features

  • Driver IC: L293D

  • Channels: 4 outputs (2 H-bridges)

  • Motor voltage (VM): Up to ~36V (check motor & board rating)

  • Logic voltage: 5V (3.3V compatible for control)

  • Direction + PWM speed control

  • Built-in flyback diodes (inside L293D)

📌 Designed for small DC motors (not high-current motors).


⚠ IMPORTANT – Electrical Notes

🚨 Motor current limit

  • L293D is suitable for low-current motors only

  • Typical continuous current: ~600mA per channel

  • Not suitable for high-power motors

🚨 Separate motor power recommended

  • Use a separate supply for motors (VM)

  • Share GND between motor supply and controller


🔌 Pinout (Typical HW-310)

Power

Pin Function
VCC Logic supply (5V)
VM / +12V Motor supply
GND Ground

Motor Outputs

  • OUT1 / OUT2 → Motor A

  • OUT3 / OUT4 → Motor B

Control Pins

Pin Function
IN1 / IN2 Motor A direction
IN3 / IN4 Motor B direction
EN1 Enable / PWM Motor A
EN2 Enable / PWM Motor B

📌 Some boards have EN pins tied HIGH with jumpers — remove jumper to use PWM.


🔌 Wiring – Arduino Uno Example (2 DC Motors)

🧪 1️⃣ Basic Example – Drive 2 DC Motors

// Motor A
int IN1 = 2;
int IN2 = 3;
int EN1 = 5;

// Motor B
int IN3 = 4;
int IN4 = 7;
int EN2 = 6;

void setup() {
pinMode(IN1, OUTPUT);
pinMode(IN2, OUTPUT);
pinMode(EN1, OUTPUT);

pinMode(IN3, OUTPUT);
pinMode(IN4, OUTPUT);
pinMode(EN2, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
// Motor A forward
digitalWrite(IN1, HIGH);
digitalWrite(IN2, LOW);
analogWrite(EN1, 200); // speed (0–255)

// Motor B forward
digitalWrite(IN3, HIGH);
digitalWrite(IN4, LOW);
analogWrite(EN2, 200);

delay(3000);

// Stop motors
analogWrite(EN1, 0);
analogWrite(EN2, 0);
delay(1000);

// Reverse both motors
digitalWrite(IN1, LOW);
digitalWrite(IN2, HIGH);
digitalWrite(IN3, LOW);
digitalWrite(IN4, HIGH);

analogWrite(EN1, 180);
analogWrite(EN2, 180);
delay(3000);

// Stop
analogWrite(EN1, 0);
analogWrite(EN2, 0);
delay(2000);
}


🧪 2️⃣ Direction Control Logic (Quick Reference)

IN1 IN2 Motor A
HIGH LOW Forward
LOW HIGH Reverse
LOW LOW Brake
HIGH HIGH Brake

(Same logic applies to IN3 / IN4 for Motor B)


🧪 3️⃣ Stepper Motor (Basic Bipolar)

Connect stepper coils to:

  • Coil A → OUT1 / OUT2

  • Coil B → OUT3 / OUT4

Then energise coils in sequence.

📌 L293D works for small stepper motors only.


🔧 Thermal & Protection Notes

✔ L293D has internal flyback diodes
✔ Still generates heat under load
✔ Keep motor current modest
✔ Provide airflow if running continuously

📌 For higher current motors, consider L298N, BTS7960, or MOSFET drivers.


🧠 Common Issues & Fixes

Issue Cause Fix
Motor doesn’t move EN pin LOW Set EN HIGH or use PWM
Only one direction IN pins wrong Check IN1/IN2 logic
Arduino resets Motor noise Separate motor supply
Motors weak Voltage drop Increase motor supply
Overheating Motor too large Use higher-current driver
