Hello there.

I've piggybacked three chips, for a total of 2.6A (2 1A chips and 1 0.6A
chip, piggybacked with heat sink compound slathered between all the chips
and between the top chip and the heat sink I've put on it). I haven't had
any problems with this setup, but that may just be because I haven't had
the time to play with it much lately.


Hope that helps...

HI

       Just wondering what kind of success anyone has had with
piggy-backing the L293's.  My HB came with the TI h-bridge chips and I
wanted to know if I could use the same technique.  I figure if two chips
can be run in parallel, giving up to 2A for each motor, I should be OK with
the motors I have.

       Also, can the traces on the board itself handle that kinda current.
I don't anticipate running all four motors at 2A, but if something goes
wrong will I melt the board.

Thanks

Matt
