This might just save us


What we have here is a DROK L298N Dual H-Bridge Robot Stepper Motor Control & Drives Module. In any type of moving “object, you want to be able to give it power when you want. What you don’t want is only two settings: full power or no power. What this device allows us to do is alternate between those two options without interruption. This the case with our project once the circuit is close, power is constantly being given unless we sever the connection. We mentioned in older posts that we attempted to use the older control module, but since it was so old we couldn’t see to get it to work. We went ahead and purchased this and surprisingly it was fairly cheap. This will benefit us when we integrate it with our Arduino board and joystick allowing us to stay connected and (hopefully) move the wheel chair on command.
