Questionatic L298n Red Connection

Following the instruction video, i was able to set up the Hbridge L298N RED

the problem im facing is, it only controls the read motor, not the turning motor.

the video online shows dj setting up just one motor. am i missing something?

no Richard, keeping the current configuration would be theeasy way. removing it, and finding a servo that fits, modding the chassis, would be the hard way

@Alan, the spring back is present in every rc toy i think. just go to toys r us, rc section, and move the front wheels, they spring back.

@Rich, breaking the chassis with the original motor would be impossible, otherwise they simply wouldn't be in every pre-assembled rc car

OK, use the H-Bridge... I have attempted to provide you with explanation and solution on a number of occasions. If you dislike the answers you are given why ask the questions? You seem to have an idea in your head and refuse to accept advice given if it does not match what you want.

Do things the hard way if you think it will be easier. It is your choice at the end of the day but you have at least three people here telling you otherwise.

Can you take some close up pictures of the steering assembly? Is it some kind of rack and pinion set-up? Maybe the motor gear just goes off the end of the rack and keeps spinning at the extent of the turn.

The whole reason we are trying to push you away from using an H-bridge for controlling a steering wheel is that there must be some way to keep the motor from trying to continue pushing the wheel since there is no way to tell the H-bridge to stop at the end unless it is built into the mechanism. But since you have a working mechanism, then getting a custom Movement Panel to make it work should not be difficult at all.

Alan, This was taken earlier, i will get a better picture up a little later.

Maybe something from below? Can't really see what the motor is attached to from there.

@Perses ... When they invented air travel I am sure many people still argued that trains were the better way...

Suit yourself dude... as Rich said, it's your project

@Alan, i took that with my phone, ill be back at the desk leter tonight for better photos.

@Richard, Bad analogy here, apparently, (once again) if servos were the way to go, Manufacturing plants for rc vehicles would of been using them. I may be wrong, if they are indeed servos, but they appear to be motors.

And this is not just one rc vehicle, this is majority of rc vehicles sold worldwide.

So I think the analogy you have provided might be backwords.

Maybe RC toys, which I haven't really looked at in any detail. Real RC cars and planes all use servos.
