hi i have a h-bridge question

fist i did all the wiring https://synthiam.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

Short answer, yes. Just check what voltage the motors can take before you throw a lot in to them.

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.

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

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