(...) Well, I have a MediaOne account. I took the opportunity once MediaOne offered their cable modems in our area (which was around October 1998, IIRC). I've posted only rare requests to RTL for sets, and some things here and there in LUGNET. I try (...) (25 years ago, 13-Dec-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) It doesn't to me. If LEGO wants to release another hopper train car, they will be able to do so, at a price that Larry will not be able to match. If Larry manages to establish a booming business in hopper cars, selling them in the thousands (...) (25 years ago, 13-Dec-99, to lugnet.market.theory)

|
|
If you don't already have the L293D chips it would give you more current capability if you used the SN754410. It is pin compatible with the L293D and supplies 1A continuous versus 0.6A for the L293D, and they can be stacked just as Kam suggested for (...)

James, Have you considered stacking two L293D chips on top of each other, solder the legs together and add a heat sink? You should be able to drive motors in the 1A range. Just a thought. -kam (URL) (25 years ago, 13-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
