The module is designed to switch heavy DC loads from a single digital pin of your microcontroller. Its main purpose is to provide a low-cost way to drive a DC motor for robotics applications, but the module can be used to control most high current DC loads. Screw terminals are provided to interface to your load and external power source. An LED indicator provides a visual indication of when your load is being switched.

In this initial test, we will not delve into this module, we just test if it works on our robot. The drawback is that we do not have an H-bridge :/

Code I — 5v@.5A DC Motor

Code II — 2x 12v@.5A DC Motor
