![HW-130 Shield Pictorial Representation] | Parameter | Value / Range | |-------------------------|---------------------------------------| | Driver IC | L293D (x1) | | Input Voltage (VCC) | 4.5V to 12V DC (external power) | | Logic Voltage | 5V (from Arduino) | | Max Continuous Current | 600 mA per channel (peak: 1.2A) | | Number of DC Motors | Up to 4 (or 2 with speed/direction) | | Stepper Motors | 1 bipolar (unipolar not supported) | | PWM Channels | 4 (pins 5, 6, 9, 10 on Arduino) | | Thermal Shutdown | Yes (built into L293D) | | Flyback Diodes | Integrated in L293D (internal) | | PCB Size | 68.5mm x 53.3mm (standard Uno shield) | | Stackable | Yes (with pin headers) |
Approx. 4W (with proper cooling) 3. Pinout & Hardware Layout The HW-130 sits directly on top of the Arduino Uno. It uses the following Arduino digital and analog pins (note that analog pins A0–A5 are broken out for general use ): Dedicated Motor Pins: | Motor | Direction Pin (Arduino) | PWM Speed Pin (Arduino) | |-------|------------------------|-------------------------| | M1 | D12 | D5 | | M2 | D11 | D6 | | M3 | D8 | D9 | | M4 | D7 | D10 |
For any serious project with motors exceeding 700 mA, consider upgrading to a MOSFET-based shield, but for light robotics and classroom work, the HW-130 remains a reliable workhorse. Document version 1.0 – Last updated: April 2026 This datasheet is based on reverse engineering of the HW-130 hardware and public L293D documentation.
