Motor Control Driver Shield L293D

Specification:

This shield contains two L293D motor drivers and one 74HC595 shift register. The shift register expands 3 pins of the Arduino to 8 pins to control the direction for the motor drivers. The output enable of the L293D is directly connected to PWM outputs of the Arduino.
The Motor Shield is able to drive 2 servo motors, and has 8 half-bridge outputs for 2 stepper motors or 4 full H-bridge motor outputs or 8 half-bridge drivers, or a combination.
The servo motors use the +5V of the Arduino board. The voltage regulator on the Arduino board could get hot. To avoid this, the newer Motor Shields have connection points for a separate +5V for the servo motors.
Can drive 2 servo motors, 2 stepper mtoors or 4 Full H bridge DC motors
Easy to use board
External power supply 5V available for servo motors
Plug and play with compatible libraries
