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.

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.

That is how I got mine.

Me either.

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.

(...) Scott 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. Scan through the (...) (30 years ago, 13-Dec-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
