Motor Driver (L293D) (Dual H-Bridge)

Looking to play around with motors (stepper or DC)? This is the perfect chip. With two full H-bridges you can control either two DC motors or one bi-polar stepper motor (4, 5, 6, or 8 wire). Simply plug it into a breadboard and use the included one page guide to get your motors spinning in no time.
