... i'm trying to have a cd-player-tray motor be controllable via arduino / serial.
pretty much the same setup as here, other voltages though:

motor and arduino both have external power.
i'm using this standard cd-player-tray motor (5.9V):
RF-310T-11400

i actually have to supply the bridge 12V on pin 8 (VCC2) to make the motor turn ok. if i connect it directly to the power source it has much much more torque.
any idea what i could do?
