hi guys I have a robot using 2 DC motor and L293D IC im planning to replace my existing motor with the Tamiya Atomic Tune Motor (specs and Picture Attach) but im concern with the current consumption of the motor. based on the specs current consumption is 1.8-2.2A can L293D chip provide enough current for the 2 Tamiya motors? if not is there any way that I can use both by adding additional circuit?
and lastly if both suggestion is not possible is there IC that can handle the current of the motors.
The L293D chip cannot supply over 0.6 amperes per channel without overheating.
Buy a modern motor driver, like one of these.
