\\ {{ :electronic:boards:pa184372a.jpg?200|Overview}} ^ Module Description || ^Model|**XC4492**| ^Manufacturer|Duinotech| ^Description|Dual/Stepper motor controller module| ^Other designations|Duinotech L298, TA0052 iduino L298 , Keyes L298, Keyestudio L298N| ^Associated modules|-| ^Voltage|3V - 30V| ^Current|4A max total load| \\ ===== Overview ===== It uses the L298N Dual Motor Driver chip to provide full control of two DC motors or a single stepper-motor. ===== Hardware description ===== ==== Components ==== * {{:electronic:datasheet:stmicroelectronics:ds_l298.pdf|L298N}}, Dual full-bridge driver ==== Features ==== * 3V DC - 30 V DC operating voltage * 2A peek current per motor channel * Back-EMF protection * Over-temperature protection * On-board 5V regulator can also power attached Arduino etc * Status LEDs (logic power and input status) * Provision for current sense resistors ==== Revisions ==== ===== Schematics ===== ^XC4492 circuit schematic :^ {{electronic:boards:xc4492_schem.png?800|Schematic}} Note: C1 not actually installed. \\ ^ Jumper block || ^CSB|Insert current sense resistor between pins to measure current on channel B, or short with jumper if not used| ^CSA|Insert current sense resistor between pins to measure current on channel A, or short with jumper if not used| ^UR1|Jumper to activate pullup on IN4 (not needed for Arduino)| ^UR2|Jumper to activate pullup on IN3 (not needed for Arduino)| ^UR3|Jumper to activate pullup on IN2 (not needed for Arduino)| ^UR4|Jumper to activate pullup on IN1 (not needed for Arduino)| ^5V_EN|Jumper to enable +5V power to the board via 5V regulator from VMS supply| If you install jumper "5V_EN" the board can generate +5V from the VMS (motor) supply using an onboard regulator but only if that VMS supply is less than 16V. That +5V can be used to power an attached Arduino etc via the pin header. Otherwise (eg VMS >16V, too high for regulator), the board needs an external +5V supply as well as the VMS supply. \\ ---- ===== Examples ===== {{electronic:boards:pa184372a.jpg?800|XC4492 overview}} {{electronic:boards:pa184371a.jpg?800|XC4492 overview back}} {{electronic:boards:pa184375a.jpg?800|XC4492 top view}} {{electronic:boards:pa184376a.jpg?800|XC4492 PCB bottom}} ====== References and Additional Resources ====== * {{https://media.jaycar.co.nz/product/resources/XC4492_datasheetMain_67878.pdf?_gl=1*1q73kcn*_gcl_au*MzA1ODQ3MDUuMTc5MTkzMjE3OQ..|XC4492}} datasheet. /* {{:electronic:boards:xc4492.pdf|XC4492}} datasheet. */ * {{https://www.st.com/resource/en/application_note/an240-applications-of-monolithic-bridge-drivers-stmicroelectronics.pdf|L293, L293E and L298}} application notes. * {{https://www.auselectronicsdirect.com.au/assets/files/TA0052%20Stepper%20Motor%20Controller%20Module.pdf|TA0052}} datasheet. * {{https://wiki.keyestudio.com/Ks0063_keyestudio_L298N_Motor_Driver_Board_Module|Keyestudio L298N}} wiki page.If any referenced page no longer exists, try looking for its URL on http://archive.org.
