VNH2SP30 Moster Motor Driver Module Features
Today, speed and direction control of DC motors is very common. A Full-Bridge circuit is one of the simplest methods to control a DC motor. This module is a Full-Bridge motor driver with high output current tolerance.
INA, INB and PWM pins are used for controlling the speed and direction of motor rotation. The CS pin is also the current sensor. This pin’s output voltage changes 0.13V per 1A.
The input voltage should be between 5.5 and 16V. Also, the maximum allowed continuous output current is 14A.
You can download the datasheet of this module here.
VNH2SP30 full-bridge Motor Driver Pinout
This Module has 11 pins:
- VM: Module voltage
- VCC: Module power supply
- GND: Ground
- A1: Positive end for motor A
- A2: Negative end for motor A
- B1: Positive end for motor B
- B2: Negative end for motor B
- PWMA: Speed control signal for motor A
- INA: Motor Control signal
- INB: Motor Control signal
- CS: current sensor
- EN: Activation pin
You can see the pinout of this module in the image below.
Note
This module can work in three mode: clockwise, counterclockwise and brake.
If INA and INB are both on or off, it is in the brake mode. If INA is on and INB is off, it is clockwise, and if INA is off and INB is on, it is counterclockwise.

analogWrite(PWM,out1); //Speed control of Motor
}
This code is for control a DC motor’s speed. Turn the potentiometer clockwise to increases the motor’s speed. You must set the EN pin HIGH to activate the module.
Warning
Be careful not to fully turn the potentiometer because this DC motor is a 6 volts motor and the input voltage is 9 volts. So the motor may be damaged. Of course, you can use a lower voltage power supply or a higher voltage DC motor.
Comment (1)
its working well with 20 k potenciometr. Please make code for radio control using ia6b flysky reciver and Uno there are no tutorials on this motor driver only for l298
