Hi
I just got an L293D chip like my friend suggested. I also read the datasheet for L293D here: http://www.rev-ed.co.uk/docs/L293D.pdf
I've only been running the blink program and making LEDs blink
These are what I'm trying to do:
control a DC motor. I'll just be running the motor to run a Coke tin, like a wheel for a simple tank
This is what I can understand right now:
The L293D chip allows controlling 2 DC motors or 1 stepper motor. Since I'll need to control only one DC motor, I'll basically be using one half of the chip.
Can anyone point me to the connections I have to make? Which pins have I to connect in the Arduino to what pins in the L293D and which ones should be connected to the motor?
Thank you in advance
