Selection a motor driver with wifi

Other Hardware Motors, Mechanics, Power and CNC

Hi there,
I'm very newbie in arduino and electronics but i really want to know and learn this new area for me.
Can you help me in my first steps ?

Issue: have electric valve arm with rated voltage 12v and rated current 100mA, power 1.2W
I want to control it. The ideal way by wifi, other ways by driver that connected to wifi.
As understand deiver can be L298N or H-Bridge L9110S (more simpler and not for newbie)

Can you recomend:

  • a driver for newbie from aliexpress and wifi module to control this driver
  • or driver with integrated wifi module?

Thanks in advance.

Try Google on "Arduino + WiFi"!
The L298N is not a good choice. It wastes 2 - 4 volt. MOSFET based drivers are better. The datasheet of the L9110S is not impressive, tells nothing about the inside. Smells not got either. Polulu has plenty of drivers as I've been reading here.

Thank you for your answer. Will try

So, i should look up mosfet motor driver for arduino and wifi module, right ?
I heard something about zegbee interface like wifi but want to control motors from my smartfone like an end device. This reason why wi fi

Yes, MOSFET based drivers. Else You loose voltage, get less of performance and not needed heating around the driver. Spend a little time finding the motor driver.
Wait for parts knowing helpers to join regarding WiFi. It's not my territory.

An ESP32 has WiFi and Bluetooth and can connect to and control a motor driver like the ones available from Pololu..

You will also need an external power supply as no Arduino compatible can directly power a motor.

What is an "electric valve arm"? Can you tell us the model of electric valve arm you have or one very similar?

Thanks everyone for answers.

This is a water tap with motor

The closest product is

I understand now. It's a motor you add to a ball valve to electrically drive the handle and open or close the valve.

Are you sure it only takes 100mA? The one from AliExpress takes ten times that current (1A) which seems more reasonable for an electric motor.

Not sure :slight_smile:
I'm newbie in this topic.
I can see rated current 100mA and 20mA to 1000mA

Rated power 1.2W operating power 0.24W-10W
