Yes Vs should stay at 5v, but if you read my original message the best
thing is to use 9.6 volt motors!! Save yourself some trouble!

| With the modification mentioned in the the FAQ, can you power 3V motor at 3V with external power? The FAQ mentions external 6-36V and L293D spec sheet says that the minimum Vs is Vss (which has a minimum 4.5V). The modification doesn't change Vss, (...)
