DFRobot - Dual 2A DC Motor Controller (L298N)

This is a 4.8-46V, 2A Dual Motor Controller the latest revision of DFRobot's DC Motor Controller. Its performance has been greatly improved, featuring a larger heatsink capable of handling higher currents.

The module uses, LGS's outstanding high-power motor driver chip, the L298N which makes very easy to control.
The chip allows for direct drive of two bi-directional DC motors, and incorporates high-speed short diodes for protection. Drive current up to 2A per motor output. The driver uses a broad-brush design to reduce wire resistance.
