Connect battery pack positive to +12V terminal on L298N.
Connect battery pack negative to GND on L298N.
Remove the jumper on L298N between +12V and 5V(important! Use external 5V for ESP32).
Use buck converter (recommended) to step down 11.1V to 5V and power ESP32 through 5V and GND.
✅ L298N to Motors:
Connect:
Motor A terminals (OUT1 & OUT2) to Left motor.
Motor B terminals (OUT3 & OUT4) to Right motor.
✅ L298N to ESP32 (Control Pins):
