PCB Design Assignment 1: L293D Motor Driver Module

Objective: Design a PCB for the L293D Motor Driver Module.

Background: A motor driver is an integrated circuit commonly used to control motors in autonomous robots. It acts as an interface between a microcontroller (such as an Arduino) and the motors. The L293D is a popular motor driver IC that can control two DC motors simultaneously using two H-bridges. H-bridges are basic circuits for controlling low-current motors, making the L293D ideal for robotics projects.

Component List:

1. L293D IC

2. 4 x 1 µF Capacitors

3. 6 x Male Header Pins

4. Connectors
