Hi, I have searched the PIC Archive and Google, but have found conflicting information. I have a couple simple questions, but not for me :) I am powering two small hobby motors (4AA 1.6A NiMH bat) (3V, normal current 0.35A, stall 1.4A) with an SN754410NE Dual H Bridge IC. http://www.acroname.com/robotics/parts/R6-754410.html Question 1.) Do I need protection doides or not, Some sites say yes some say no. If so what would be good values to use ? Question 2.) Should I put a mylar cap across the motor terminals, and again what would a good value be, I have seen 0.1uf used in some cases. Thanks in advance, Kevin -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList mailto:piclist-unsubscribe-request@mitvma.mit.edu
