Is there any way I can change in the software/hardware that the motor outputs
gives constant voltages? Or, slow down the frequency of the pulses?

I'm not quite sure if this is what you are looking for, but if you need
to run motors that are not compatible with the HB's built-in H-bridge,
try one of the following:

(1) If you need up to twice the current, try piggybacking more motor
driver IC's on top of the HB's motor driver IC's.

(2) If you need different voltage, try severing the trace on the HB that
connects the HB battery and the HB motor power header, and plugging in a
separate motor battery pack.

(3) If you need a much heavier-duty motor driver, try building a
separate, external H-bridge or other type of motor drive circuit.  A
very simple, inexpensive one is described on the HB web site.  Best of
luck to you.

I was wondering if anyone out there knew where to get parts for the sonar board. I have fried the two IC chips on the board, the SN28784 and TL851.

Dear all, I asked this question before but I might have used the wrong wordings. Here I try again. As you all know, the HB 's motor outputs give PVM, however, it gave me problems when I tried to amplify the power (both current and voltage.) Is there (...)
