Hw 130 Motor Control Shield For Arduino Datasheet [ Desktop SIMPLE ]

The HW-130 Motor Control Shield offers a simple, solderless way to drive two small brushed DC motors from an Arduino. Its use of the L293D provides basic protection (thermal, back EMF) but limits continuous current to 600 mA per motor. For higher current (e.g., 12 V motors > 1A), an external H-bridge (like L298N or MOSFET-based) is required. The HW-130 is ideal for educational robotics and lightweight projects where cost and simplicity matter.

You are exceeding 600mA continuous or stalling the motor (stall current can be 2-3x rated). Fix: Hw 130 Motor Control Shield For Arduino Datasheet
