B9 Robot And H Bridges

Hello All

So I'm a total novice at electronics and am on a steep learning curve so bear with me :-) I'm using EZ-Robot to control my B9 and have a question about H-Bridges. EZ recommends the L298N. I've reviewed the tutorial (see below) and think I grasp the process. What I'm unclear on is how much power the board can take. In the video the power source used is only battery. My system is 12 volts. Is that within the specs and how many H Bridges could I route through a single board?

Thanks,

Danger deserves the credit. He spotted your port settings and realized you may have had them attached to the wrong pins. That's why as a group we are able to achieve so much. I would never had come this far with my robot and had it turn out working so well without the help of people on this forum and others!

Glad all is working now. Post some pictures and video! I'd love to see him working.

I'm glad that I was able to help. So far I haven't gotten to the stage of putting actual motors into my B9. I am building it from scratch. It is very time consuming. I have done experimenting with motors, controllers, and EZ-B on the workbench though. I am pretty close to incorporating working parts into it.

As Dave said, it would be good to see some pictures, or video. I am always looking for ideas myself.

Thanks Guys. Again I am indebted. Videos ASAP.

Danger I have some extra B9 parts that you might could use. If you're interested contact me via email at [email protected].
