MX1508 Dual H Bridge DC PWM Stepper MotorDriver

1. Description

The MX1508 Dual H-Bridge Motor Driver is a compact, low-cost driver board designed to control two DC motors or a single bipolar stepper motor. It uses the MX1508 IC, which is similar in operation to the more widely known L298/L293 motor drivers but with lower power consumption and smaller size, making it ideal for small robotics, Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and other microcontroller projects.

The board accepts PWM signals to vary motor speed and can handle direction control via logic inputs. Because it contains two H-bridges, it can independently drive two motors or one stepper motor.

2. Key Features

• Dual H-Bridge Control – Two independent motor channels
• PWM Speed Control – Enables variable speed control
• Direction Control – Forward and reverse rotation support
• Compact Size – Small footprint appropriate for embedded projects
• Low Voltage Operation – Good for battery-powered systems
• Easy to Interface – Works with microcontrollers (Arduino, PIC, STM32, etc.)

3. Typical Applications

• Small robotic platforms

• Line-following robots

• Tiny RC cars

• Educational electronics

• DIY automation projects

• Control of small DC or stepper motors
