Weekend Project L298 Dual H-Bridge

Tadah!

This is kind of a monumental time for the new website. Notice I posted this video on CwhatIcanDoProjects YouTube account.

Congratulations to Andrei and Me for getting the CwhatIcanDo website ready for Alpha Testing! You get to see it here!

About the project itself. This is one of those watch it get built videos like some of the more popular ones on my YouTube Channel (We R bots)

This is a dual H-bridge Motor Controller that delivers 4Amps total (2A / motor). The 293, the little brother of this controller, only handles an amp. This one doubles its capability. Since the pinout is a little strange, I bought the whole thing with a PC board from HVTech, or Solarbotics, no matter, they are all the same now.

Anyway, it went together in a blink. Alright, true, a long blink, say a couple of hours, but together it went and passed the operation test as soon as it was hooked up.

Next expect me to do something freaky with the Motor Driver...

I'm back to building robots N stuff again. Though I'm also finishing off CwhatIcanDo and nursing it through the Alpha Testing period. The bug list has gotten much smaller and the things to do list has shrunk to a manageable size.

The website is coming!!!!
