I currently have a L298n driver. It works perfectly, but I'm looking for a more elegant alternative. With me I have a Microstep Driver DM542 (https://kitaez-cnc.com/f/dm542.pdf) and I think I can use it to control two DC motors, right? (confirm yes or no, please).
If possible, help me with the connections, please. I imagine that motor A+/A- correspond to one motor and B+/B- correspond to the other motor. But, I don't understand where ENA, IN1, IN2, ENB, IN3, IN4 will go.
I am looking for an alternative for L298n that uses terminal block and not typical arduino pins. Since I already have that stepper motor driver, I would like to use it (I have many DM542, but I would only like to use one).
The L298 is a dinosaur, and works only with rather small, low power motors. Pololu has the best selection of modern, efficient motor drivers: Pololu - Brushed DC Motor Drivers
Is it better than L298? if it's better, I'm going to buy 2, for 3 motors that consume 0.5A each. That is, 2 motors connected to one (they will have the same direction and the same speed) and another motor connected to another independent of the others. What do you think?
Better in what sense? Why do you say it's bad if it works fine? (It is a serious question and out of curiosity. My inexperience means that I do not know the pros and cons).
