The project designed around L293D IC. The L293D device is quadruple high-current half-H driver. The 293D is designed to provide bidirectional drive current up to 600mA a voltage from 5V to 36V. L293D Adapter Board can be used as dual DC motor driver or bipolar stepper motor driver. The L293D is a popular 16-Pin Motor Driver IC. As the name suggests it is mainly used to drive motors. A single L293D IC is capable of running two DC motors at the same time; also the direction of these two motors can be controlled independently.

Hello,
I've modified slightly your code to use it with an Attiny85, only one motor, but for some reason, the motor only spins in one direction. In fact I've checked that during the inversion period the motor doensn't move. I've changed the order of activation MotorA1, MotorA2, HIGH and LOW and nothing happens. I don't think the problem is the Attiny85. I use it very often for small projects. Have you got any idea what might be the reason? Should you need more inormation: code, schema... etc just ask me. Thanks Pablo
Hello everyone! I hope you all will be absolutely fine and having fun. Today I am going to given elaboration on Introduction to L293D. L 293D is basically a high current dual motor driver/controller Integrated Circuit (IC). It is able to drive load having current up to 1A at the voltage ranging from 4.5V to 36V. Motor driver usually act as current amplifier because they receive a low current signal as an input and provides high current signal at the output.Motors usually operates on this higher current.

L-293D has to builtin H-Bridge driver circuits and is able to control two DC motors at a time in both clockwise and counter clockwise direction. It has two enable pins and they should be kept high in order to control the motor.
By changing the polarity of applied signal motor can be rotated in either clockwise or counter clockwise direction. If L 293D enable pin is high, its corresponding driver will provide the desired out. If the enable pin is low, there will be no output. L-293D has different features including internal ESD protection, large voltage supply range, large output current per channel, high noise immunity input etc. L 293D plays a vital role in electronics era and has several different applications e.g relay drivers, DC motor drivers, stepping motor drivers etc. The further detail about L 293D motor driver/controller will be given later in this tutorial.
Introduction to L293DL293D is basically a motor driver or controller. It has two builtin H-bridge circuits which are able to control two DC motors simultaneously in both clockwise and counter clockwise direction. It acts as an current high amplifier because it take low current signal at its input and provides higher current signal at the output in order to drives different load e.g stepper motor & DC motors. Its features include large inpu voltage supply range, large output current high noise immunity input signals etc. Its common real life applications include stepping motor drivers, relay drivers, DC motor drivers etc. L-293D motor driver/controller is shown in the figure given below.1.
L293D has a lot of applications including:. DC motor drivers. Relay drivers.
Stepper motor drivers. Two phase motor driver, block diagram of L 293D application for two phase motor is given in the figure shown below.In the tutorial Introduction to L293D, I have shared all the necessary details about L 293D motor controller/driver which includes its pinout diagram, applications, features, functional and logic diagram, packages etc. Let me know if I have missed something. If you have any issues you can find each kind of help regarding your issues.
Our team is always available here to help you. In my upcoming articles I will share other informative IC’s as well. Till then take care ?.
