L298 driver for DC/Stepper motors
Based on the ST L298N chip, this module is designed to accept standard TTL logic levels and drive inductive loads such as relays, solenoids, DC motors, and stepper motors.
Overview
Based on the ST L298N chip, this module is designed to accept standard TTL logic levels and drive inductive loads such as relays, solenoids, DC motors, and stepper motors.
It has the ability to reverse the motor rotation direction and features control inputs for stepper and DC motors, motor direction indication LEDs, power presence LEDs, and a base with 4 mounting holes. The control logic power supply voltage ranges from 4.5 to 5.5V, and the motor power supply voltage ranges from 6.5 to 30V DC, with a peak output current of 2A per channel.

OPC Unified Architecture – OPC UA in short – is a cross-platform, open-source machine-to-machine communication protocol for industrial automation. It was developed by the Open Platform Communications (OPC) Foundation and is defined in detail in the IEC 62541 standard. With the release of the Arduino_OPC_UA library we enable users to convert any product from our Arduino Opta range into an OPC UA-enabled device. Step-by-step guide to setting up OPC UA on Arduino Opta It’s as simple as uploading a single sketch onto your Opta and connecting it to an Ethernet network. Once uploaded, the OPC UA firmware exposes the Arduino Opta’s analog and digital inputs, the user button and LED (only Arduino Opta WiFi), as well as its relay outputs as properties that can be read from or written to using OPC UA. OPC UA communication is performed using OPC UA binary encoding via TCP sockets. Arduino_OPC_UA is a port of the Fraunhofer open62541 library implementing IEC 62541 in highly portable C99 for both Windows and Linux targets. One serious challenge during the porting of open62541 was to decide on sensible tradeoffs concerning RAM consumption, as using OPC UAs full namespace zero (NS0) requires up to 8 MB of RAM while the STM32H747 powering the Arduino Opta has a total of 1 MB of SRAM to offer – some of which already allocated by the the Arduino framework for the Arduino Opta. Expand functionality with Arduino Opta Modules and OPC UA integration Additionally, Arduino_OPC_UA supports the automatic discovery, configuration and exposure as OPC UA objects of the recently released Arduino Opta expansion modules. Currently three different expansion modules exist: Arduino Opta Analog Expansion (A0602), Arduino Opta Digital Expansion with electro-mechanical relay outputs (D1608E), and with solid-state relay outputs (DS1608S). During system start-up, the Arduino Opta’s expansion bus is queried for connected expansion modules and automatically configures them and
