Components
Discrete and integrated components that form the interface layer between your microcontroller and the physical world. Understanding H-bridges, level shifters, and passive components is essential for building reliable systems.
Motor Driver (L298N)
The L298N is a dual H-bridge motor driver IC that allows a microcontroller to control two DC motors or one stepper motor. It bridges the logic voltage of a microcontroller to the power requirements of motors.
