Here's the chip I burned out on my board, the L293DD Motor Drive IC
https://www.arduino.cc/documents/datasheets/H-bridge_motor_driver.PDF

@M4Gunner Just do what I did and burn out all three NAND gates in the middle of the class exam.

If I'm not wrong, it looks like it can't take power above 7v max. So likely was burnt out by connecting 2 18650 batteries in series, which gives up to 7.4v

@meratrix that would be sweet, then they could show me what i did wrong faster

what kinda hardware?

Now, I still have to confirm whether this IC is suitable to power 2 12v motors at all

Seems legit, however I'm reading some posts that say if you give the L293D about ~6v, the voltage drop is high enough you may see barely 3v of actual power, with the rest being wasted on overheating the living shit out of the chip. People suggest other driver chips for this. Havent confirmed for the DD yet

these ICs can actually be stacked in parallel, though my Driver board only had one on it

Hello Comp Sci, I'm a sw engineer CS degree new to this discord. I'll be lurking here.
Looks like yall talk a lot more about electrical eng.
if anyone needs assistance in the discrete math realm that's my jam.
Nice to stalk ya.

just what we need, another lurker <:pepe_eyes:378719408362881024>

@plasmarob We occasionally rag on programming languages

And one of us is frying his brain out to build a neural network

@Legiondude
By day I work for an ISP/Telecom using PHP in the whole stack range to do a thousand things.
But my work history is in QA.
By night i'm working on designing a minecraft server plugin that lets you build zelda-style dungeons.

What's your most hated language (after JS being first or gtfo)

java i guess

heh everything as old as Sun Microsystems is pretty nice.
* * * * Oracle.

i think its alright for its time

Write Once, Debug Everywhere TM

but say, a modern game like Minecraft having been running java? ridiculous

yeah... it's the water i swim in, but if i had a time machine...

At least M$ got it to where you don't need a local java installation. it's hidden inside now.

I love Microsoft

I'm a shill for Windows 7

I love them for what they did right, and hate what they've done wrong.
*Stop crying, IE-chan. It's not our fault you still live*

I dont like the new boss from India

I'm not a fan of people from developing countries taking over western corporations.

I know it sounds prejudicial but it seems like a lack of western philosophy leads to...problems.

I'm all for equality of opportunity but then the diversity people take over boards and disaster ensues.

i dont think ballmer would have turned win10 into adware

I just started reading Adam Smith. Trying to make sure I practice what I preach, JBPeterson style.

Is Win10 that bad?

it's that blatant

I'm not an IT guy. I just know I like the feature set and material design and it stops there

Oh I'm sure some of the interface is great. Windows can make a perfectly good UI that only starts to get shitty when you try to do anything advanced

I remember when I first had Cortana and tried to add custom scripts to run. Seemed like the one feature i'd want and it was pretty dumb to missing.

I dont like what theyre doing as far as data collection goes, although i dont necessarily agree that it should be illegal. I will avoid using it for as long as doing so remains practical
