Hello, I'm pretty new to this stuff so please forgive me if I'm asking a noob question.
I'm trying to copy someone's FFB PC Steering build in which he uses a BTS7960 to drive the motors. I can't easily get that part in my area but I can get a L298N pretty easily. If I understood correctly, both are able to do PWM but have different thresholds(I don't know if that is the right word)?
What is an "FFB PC Steering build"?
What motors do you want to drive?
The datasheet for the Infineon BTS 7960 says that it can handle 40 amps. And L298 would struggle with 2 amps.

The motor is gonna be a 775 12v DC motor
How about a link to the data sheet for the motor that you are using? I Google "775 12v DC motor" and get conflicting results in terms of running and stall current.

The RS775 comes in various different winds but for the 12V version a reasonable guess would be stall current 40A+. running current 25A+. A 2A (if you're lucky) L298 is not going to be any use with that motor.

can't find it on alldatasheet but this is probably where I'm gonna buy.

So if I understand correctly, I have to buy a driver with a higher current than the stall current of the motor I will use. Thanks for the help!
