    Involvement:General (knows how to use it) - Ownership:1 day to 1 week

    Pros:
    It's a great product and it has a good price. It's the easiest full h-bridge for use, and it can be used with majority of motors. If you have a small motor, you can use 2 of these in just one motor driver. But if you have a big motor, you should use one mot...
    Cons:
    No manual, and it is huge.

    Pros:
    Very cheap, in my country at this price do not buy nor L298N, let alone a whole plate. Still has an internal 5V regulator (7805). Very bright LEDs help in time to use.
    Cons:
    Not have documentation, it makes it very difficult, but nothing that solves a survey. Connectors engines are of low quality ar...

    Involvement:General (knows how to use it) - Ownership:more than 1 month

    Pros:
    Price... Simple to connect and use. Originally purchased these for use with a cnc. I ended up getting a higher powered driver, but I plan to use these to make a small plotter.

    The yellow headers were on the top side of the board. I desoldered them and moved them to the bottom side for easier use with b...

    Pros:
    The price for this product is unbelievable. Just perfect, because it's built like the professional ones, and for home projects it can be used really easily. Just purchase if you need.
    Cons:
    Can't tell one, just the usefulness might not be that high for some people. Those who make home projects will use it certainly.
