2.5 Amp Motor Controller

hi i have a h-bridge question

fist i did all the wiring http://www.ez-robot.com/Tutorials/Hardware.aspx?id=25 here
i installed h-bridge like in the tutorial
1) Connect L298 VCC to your battery supply positive
2) Connect L298 GND to your battery supply negative
3) Connect L298 +5 to a +5 pin on the EZ-B (in the diagram I used +5 from Pin D0)
4) Connect L298 IN1 to EZ-B Pin D1
5) Connect L298 IN2 to EZ-B Pin D2
6) Connect L298 IN3 to EZ-B Pin D3
7) Connect L298 IN4 to EZ-B Pin D4
8) Connect L298 OUT1 to Motor 1
9) Connect L298 OUT2 to Motor 2

then i opened ARC HBridge Movement Panel and i says

left trigger A
left trigger B
right trigger A
left trigger B

since i did everything it says shall i enter the ports like this?
left trigger A D1
left trigger B D2
right trigger A D3
left trigger B D4


thank you

Yes. If you find things are reversed just revisit the config and adjust to suit.

i have one more question about h-bridges i will control a 4wd rover with these i will use 2 to control to control 4 motors but i am not sure which motors to control which h-bridge what i am trying to say is there is 2 motors on the right and 2 motors on the left i will install 2 left motors to 1 h-bridge 2 right motors to another h-bridge shall install them like this or should i install 2 front motors to 1 h-bridge and 2 back motors to 1 h-bridge hope you understood what i am saying thanks

1 controller will control 2 motors. If you want all 4 motors independently controlled you will need 2 controllers.

If the motors would not exceed the rated current of the HBridge you may connect 2 motors per output however both would do the same thing.

i want to control my 4wd dc rover with 2 h-bridges but i am not sure which motors to connect which h-bridge there will be 2 motors on the front 2 motors on the back i will connect front motors to one h-bridge back motors to another first h-bridge ports will be

left trigger A D1
left trigger B D2
right trigger A D3
left trigger B D4


second h-bridge ports will be


left trigger A D15
left trigger B D16
right trigger A 17
left trigger B D18


problem is ez-robot gives movement controls to only one h-bridge
i need a code to move both h-bridges at the same time

or can i use only one h-bridge to control 4 motors i dont want them move independently thanks

2 HBridges gets a little more complicated as you can only have one movement panel. There is a topic which is covering this, give the forums a search for "HBridge". I'll see if I can find it when I get more time too.

Put the left hand motors on the one output and the right on the other. Provided they don't exceed the 2.5A you will be fine.
#8  
one more question if i give more power to h-bridge would my motor spinn faster?
United Kingdom
#9  
Short answer, yes. Just check what voltage the motors can take before you throw a lot in to them.
#10  
thanks while we are talking about power i am thinking of powering my ez-b with a 3s 2200mah li-po battery would this burn the ez-b or would it work fine cheers

3s is 12.6v fully charged (I think), it's below the EZB maximum input voltage so that should be fine. You may want to put a fan on the regulators though.
#12  
okay i will plug h-bridge to a sepperate battery would that make a problem? thanks rich

Join the grounds together so it's a common ground and it'll be fine.

#15  
Put a link across from one battery to the other and connect the grounds (usually black) together.

how can i change the speed of the h-bridge using ARC thanks
