Summary of Homemade Dual H-Bridge – L298 Breakout Board using Arduino
This project builds a homemade dual H-bridge breakout board using an L298N IC on a 13x26 perfboard to drive DC or stepper motors. It details component placement, soldering order, and provides schematics and Eagle files for download. The board includes diodes, capacitors, low-value resistors for current sensing, power connectors, and an Arduino-compatible header.
Parts used in the Homemade Dual H-Bridge - L298 Breakout Board using Arduino:
- 1 x perf board 13x26 holes (3.5 x 7.0 cm)
- 2 x AK300/3 connector
- 1 x 8-pin female header connector for Arduino
- 1 x L298N (Multiwatt15)
- 8 x 1N4001 diodes
- 2 x 100 nF capacitors
- 2 x 0.47 Ohm 1W resistors
- Wire (green and blue colors)
This is my homemade Dual H-Bridge using the IC L298N.
For control DC motors or step Motors ao other purposes just like you need.

Step 3: 1st Step – Perfboard, holes location
Make a Board with 3,5 x 7,0 cm or 13 x 26 holes.
Locate in this board, all holes that we will use for the components.
Step 4: 2nd Step – Components
After sanding and cleaning the board, put all components in it according of the diagram above and schematic.
For this, bend components properly.
Do the soldering for each group of components independently, for example:
diodes first and then connectors and then capacitors and resistors and finally the L298N IC; or in what order you want or you are used to do.
