  No heartbeat when switch on
 
Hello I had used the HB for a few days already. Recently when I used the HB to drive 4 9V motors, the L293D chips got very hot. After that it LEDs start lighting up without the software turning on the motors. So I replace the L293D chips. Now when I (...) (25 years ago, 13-Jul-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
