The 18200's are a pretty staight forward upgrade.  I'm currently
using two of them to run a couple power widow motors from a 12V gel cell.
They work great.  They get hot pretty quick, so a heat sink is a definite
must.

I concur here, I have a 6inch X 6inch piece of aluminium for 2 of
them, and this seems to dissapate all the heat I am generating.  I
could see longer runs or steeper grades would require a larger
heatsink.

Scan through the list archive, there's some past stuff about using
the 18200's.  You can use a ribbon cable dip header to replace the
754410's.  Very easy.  The current sense feature is pretty cool too.  One
resistor and one analog port on the HB, and you can get a current reading
from the motor.

I was the one who originally posted the 18200 to HB connection, and
it was wrong.  I had a couple pins switched.  I have the correct
version attatched.  This doesn't have the current sense or anything (I
havn't got to that yet :-).

One thing I forgot to do early in the assembly was to connect the
18200 to the signal ground on the HB.  Boy did they act funny then.

I've got a circuit board pattern for two 18200's and associated
stuff that has screw terminals for the high current end, and a 10 pin IDC
header for the control signals.  It's not a straight connection to the HB
but it makes things neat.  If you want the pattern I can send a PS version
of it.

Check out National's web site.  You can get the tech docs on the
18200 and order some _FREE_ samples.  No loss in giving them a try. :)

That is how I got mine.

I have had no trouble with them

Me either.

  The PWM inputs for each L293 are pins 1 & 9, right? And the direction
  inputs are 2, 7, 10, & 15?  With each pair of direction inputs using an
  inverter.

  The data sheet from National gives pin 3 as direction and pin 5 as PWM.
  Did you connect it like in the picture or is the picture wrong.

  I thought I would ask before a I etch my board for the 18200's.


Glad someone checked it, yup, the drawing is wrong.

pin 3 on the LMD18200 goes to pin 2 on the handyboard, and pin 5 on
the LMD18200 goes to pin 1 on the handy board.
