5. Налаштування
Follow these steps to connect the DAOKAI Mini L298N DC Motor Driver Module:
- Підключення до джерела живлення: Connect your DC power source (2V-10V) to the '+' and '-' terminals on the module. Ensure correct polarity.
- Підключення двигуна: Connect your DC motors to the 'MOTOR-A' and 'MOTOR-B' output terminals. Each motor requires two connections.
- Вхідний сигнал керування: Connect your microcontroller (e.g., Arduino) to the IN1, IN2, IN3, and IN4 pins. These pins control the direction and speed of the motors.

6. Інструкція з експлуатації
The module controls DC motors using the IN1, IN2 (for Motor-1) and IN3, IN4 (for Motor-B) input pins. The signal voltage range for these inputs is 1.8V-7V. Refer to the truth table below for control logic:
| Двигуни постійного струму | Як обертати | IN1 | IN2 | IN3 | IN4 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Мотор-1 | Forward Rotation (Speed Regulation) | 1/ШІМ | 0 | ||
| Reverse (Flip) | 0 | 1/ШІМ | |||
| Режим очікування | 0 | 0 | |||
| Гальмування | 1 | 1 | |||
| Motor-B | Forward Rotation (Speed Regulation) | 1/ШІМ | 0 | ||
| Reverse (Flip) | 0 | 1/ШІМ | |||
| Режим очікування | 0 | 0 | |||
| Гальмування | 1 | 1 |
Примітка:
- "1" represents a high logic level.
- "0" represents a low logic level.
- "PWM" indicates Pulse Width Modulation, which can be used to adjust motor speed by varying the duty cycle.
- IN1 and IN2 control DC Motor A; IN3 and IN4 control DC Motor B. The two circuits operate independently.
- The input terminal INx has an anti-common state conduction function, meaning it acts as a low-level input when floating.

7. Технічне обслуговування
The DAOKAI Mini L298N DC Motor Driver Module is designed for durability and requires minimal maintenance. To ensure optimal performance and longevity:
- Тримати в чистоті: Regularly inspect the module for dust or debris and gently clean with a soft, dry brush if necessary.
- Уникайте вологи: Protect the module from water and excessive humidity, which can cause short circuits and damage.
- Правильне зберігання: When not in use, store the module in a dry, anti-static environment, away from extreme temperatures.
- Перевірте підключення: Періодично перевіряйте всі з'єднання проводів, щоб переконатися в їх надійності та відсутності корозії.
8. Вирішення проблем
If you encounter issues with your motor driver module, consider the following troubleshooting steps:
- No Motor Movement:
- Перевірте потужність джерела живленняtage is within the 2V-10V range and correctly connected.
- Check motor connections for secure contact.
- Ensure control signals (IN1-IN4) are correctly applied according to the operating instructions.
- Confirm the motor itself is functional.
- Неправильний напрямок руху двигуна:
- Review the operating instructions and truth table to ensure the correct logic levels are applied to IN1/IN2 or IN3/IN4 for the desired direction.
- You can reverse motor direction by swapping the motor's two wires.
- Перегрів модуля:
- Check if the motor is stalled or drawing excessive current (above 1.5A continuous or 2.5A peak).
- Переконайтеся, що блок живлення обtage is not too high, especially if the motor is drawing high current.
- Verify there are no short circuits on the output terminals or between outputs.
- Модуль не відповідає:
- Check for reverse polarity connection of the power supply, which can damage the chip.
- Inspect for any visible damage to the module.
9. Заходи безпеки
Adhering to these safety precautions will help prevent damage to the module and ensure safe operation:
- Correct Power Polarity: Always pay close attention to the positive and negative poles of the power supply. Reversing the polarity will cause immediate damage to the chip and circuit.
- Уникайте коротких замикань: Do not short-circuit the output terminals to ground or to each other. This can lead to excessive current draw and chip damage.
- Prevent Motor Stalls: While the module has overheating protection, prolonged motor stalls, especially at higher voltages (near 10V) and peak currents exceeding 2.5A, can still lead to chip damage.
- томtagе та обмеження струму: Operate the module within its specified voltage (2V-10V) and current (1.5A continuous, 2.5A peak) limits to prevent overheating and damage.
- Обережно поводьтеся: Electronic components are sensitive. Handle the module carefully to avoid physical damage or electrostatic discharge.
