Headline: Wiring up the HW-130? Here is the manual you’re missing.
Body: Just picked up an HW-130 Motor Control Shield for an upcoming robotics project. It’s a great, cheap shield for driving two DC motors (or one stepper) based on the L298P driver.
However, the specific pin mapping isn't always obvious if you don't have the schematic. If you are looking for the official HW-130 Datasheet, I’ve uploaded a free copy for reference. hw 130 motor control shield for arduino datasheet free
Key Spec Highlights: ✅ Dual H-Bridge (L298P) ✅ 2A Max Current per channel ✅ PWM Speed Control ready

Let me know in the comments if you need help with the code snippet to get it running!
| Parameter | Value | |-----------|-------| | Driver Chip | L298N (or clone) | | Logic Voltage | 5V (from Arduino) | | Motor Drive Voltage | 5V – 12V DC | | Max Current per Channel | 2A continuous, 3A peak | | PWM Frequency | Up to 25 kHz (software controlled) | | PCB Size | ~68mm × 53mm | | Parameter | Value | |-----------|-------| | Driver
The HW-130 doesn’t have its own official datasheet – it’s a shield based on the L298N:
⚠️ Do not exceed 12V. Do not power high-current motors (>700mA) from Arduino’s 5V pin.
Locate the two black jumpers on the board near the screw terminals.
