Hw 130 Motor Control Shield For Arduino Datasheet Page

Supports motor voltages from 4.5V to 12V (the L293D IC itself can handle up to 36V, but the shield components often limit it).

Datasheet / documentation checklist (items to verify from manufacturer) hw 130 motor control shield for arduino datasheet

When stacked onto an Arduino Uno, the HW 130 automatically connects to the following digital pins: Supports motor voltages from 4

Up to 4 bi-directional DC motors with 8-bit speed selection. supply at least 7.5V.

The L293D has a dropout voltage of ~1.5V. For a 6V motor, supply at least 7.5V.
