Controlling 4 12v DC motors with one L298N and Arduino Uno

Hey guys can you please advise on the setup on controlling 4 12v DC motors with one L298N and Arduino Uno .... I would really appreciate it if you could also include the wiring needed and power supply ...

Thanks guys :slight_smile:

With one motor driver, you could possibly drive all the motors together in series or parallel, although it's a bad idea. You have no ability to choose one at a time.

To advise on wiring and power supply, we will need a lot more information about these motors.

a L298N driver can only run 2 DC motors, if you want to control the direction, if it's just ON/OFF, then you can run 4 of them.

if you have the "Tronix-style" red-PCB driver, just search 'Tronix L298 wiring' and you will find a LOT of pages showing you how, with code.

Hi,
Welcome to the forum.

Please read the first post in any forum entitled how to use this forum.

What is the application?
What are the specs of the motors?

Thanks.. Tom... :slight_smile:
