doesnt L293 limit the current output?

Just make sure you don't burn your house down ok.

0.6mA per channel?

Well yeah I guess

im more worried about electrocuting myself

nobody will know if i get hurt in here 😄

If you look online current and wire size you can find some sheets

You won't electrocute yourself using an Arduino

18ga should be enough

👍

well i have other stuff besides arduino, shitty DIY kits with small transformers etc

dodgy chinese OEM soldering station 😎

If it plugs in the wall you might hurt yourself ues

yeah seems easier to use batteries

That's not full speed since I'm using my hands to close the circuit

whats your waterproofing strategy

Ball bearings

And hot glue

So the l293... Can be stacked

And it is a dual h bridges

QUAD HALF

you shouldnt stack it tho, better to just use a better IC

i stacked 3, and then connect the ends of both of the two halves togheder, and then only used one direction

im gonna do it anyway

And it still was not enough

So it was like, 3x2x2of those

that answers my question about the wires

?

And the ic steals like 1.5 volts

Damn communist

Go for Chad MOSFETs

thats aside from the 5v to power it?

If you have 5 volts, the motor will see 3.5 at best

But much less

Try driving your motor directly from the battery and then from the ic

im sorry 5v to power the IC

Chad MOSFETs have 200 amps limit, 0.01 ohm on resistance

@M4Gunner yeah that too

oi ordered a handful of them
