Hey!
I am working on a project with multiple motors. Recently I upgraded a motor and forgot to check that my motor control chip could handle the current. It couldn't and it was a bit messy.
I am using the 919D30001 from http://www.mfacomodrills.com/pdfs/919D%20series.pdf this datasheet, so I understand that the motor could draw up to around 3A and therefore I need something to handle 3A.
Previously I was using this (http://www.coolcomponents.co.uk/catalog/bridge-motor-driver-p-934.html) which has identical pins to an L293D but can handle 1A.
Ideally I would like the new Hbridge to fit in the old socket where the chip was, and I definately cannot redo my circuit board due to lack of equipment.
It also needs to be a Dual HBridge as it was running two motors
I heard somewhere that I can just connect 3 1A Hbridges in parallel and that may work?
So as far as I can see my options are:
1. find a 3A DIL dual Hbridge
2. find a non DIL Dual Hbridge and make some kind of breakout board to plug into the old socket
3. Connect three 1A Hbridges in parallel
4. Something else?
Can anyone please suggest a solution (and perhaps an Hbridge) that I could use.
Thanks a lot!
