yay~ success! the motors are in motion. the current set-up is to drive the motors using signed magnitude, with the pwm into the enable. now i can drive both motors individually [:D] now the next step: connecting the IR sensor... [:-?] more reading www.barello.net - those dilberts

That is true about the glitch, I had a tendency to do a "one wire" approach and just enable the bridge, that enable will eliminate the glitch. When playing with LA I didn't see high currents, I just noted that it was the _same_ current no matter what the motor speed was. I did li

Dennis: Solving the glitch problem was the intended use for the ENABLE line (and coasting). If you are seeing large current draw with LA then your PWM rate is way too slow. That is the big problem with LA, IMO, is that pwm rates of 60-120khz are needed with small, low inductance

Any H-bridge (usually) can be drived locked antiphase. My biggest problem with locked-antiphase is power up glitch. You have to have the PWM at the center duty cycle or the motors turn. Which means that when you start up and your line is low, your motor takes off full bore until

Good point - Most motors we use in robots and whatnot are pretty "poor" motors that don't work all that well at PWM over about 2KHz, so if you keep your PWM at 1KHz or lower then any H-bridge will work out fine for you - I tried 20KHz once on a TI 754410 and literally blew the to

The enable is where the PWM goes, the IN1 and IN2 determine motor direction. It says that it is crossover protected so you don't need to worry about turning on both FETs in either leg - I didn't look too closely, but I assume that if both are set the same (low or high) then eithe

The Mega32 has two PWM channels (OC's) that you should use for motor speed. Use one or two of the other IO lines per H-bridge to select the direction. DLC katraven1 wrote: > we have an ATmega32 connected to 2 H-bridge circuits for 2 DC motors > which need to be reversible.. > > w
