| (...) You mean running FOUR motors uni-directionally from ONE L293D chip, right? ...and TWO motors bi-directionally from ONE L293D chip? (29 years ago, 28-Mar-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
| | | | | Miniboard/Handyboard.
|
| The Miniboard manual says that it can vary the motor speed at 16 levels at either direction. It was mentioned earlier that the Handyboard can vary only 8. Is this correct? I'm seeing that the Miniboard motor drivers has a higher resolution than the (...) (29 years ago, 28-Mar-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
| | | | | Re: 600 mA Limit
|
| I just realized that getting 1200 milliamps running two motors bi-directionally is equivalent to running four motors uni-directionally at 2400 from a total power dissipation standpoint. I.e., there are still 600 milliamps running through each (...) (29 years ago, 28-Mar-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
| | | | | Re: 600 mA Limit
|
| The 600 milliamp limit is per channel, but for a given motor, two channels are wired in series. So you don't get 1200 milliamps per motor but only 600. This would still yield 1200 milliamps per chip, since there are drivers for two motors. Also, if (...) (29 years ago, 28-Mar-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
| | | | | 600 mA Limit
|
| I was wondering if the 600 mA limit on the motor driver chip is a limit for the total source current of all four motor outputs or for each individual motor output. If its 600 mA for each motor output,...will the chip get hot when running with 4 (...) (29 years ago, 28-Mar-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| If you use the Texas Instruments replacement for the L293D chip, you should be in business. Also, mini board questions should go to the robot board mailing list (see enclosed). -Fred -- This message was composed using Articulate Systems' (...)

|
| Hi everybody I want to know if I can drive a DC motor which need 1050 mA as a starting current, using the miniboard. Thanx. Hachemi. (29 years ago, 28-Mar-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
| | | | | How to free up OC2?
|
| I believe I can disconnect the OC2 pin from the unneeded IR-Xmit function, so I can divert it for my own use. Would that require any trace cutting, or perhaps removal of the LED Xmitter? Or, better yet, is it all a software change? Fred, I know (...) (29 years ago, 28-Mar-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
