Using an L293 as a H-Brigde
« on: November 29, 2010, 12:20:53 AM »
So i am just wondering i seen circuit where people use LM293 as an H-Bridge to drive motor.
I am just wondering how to Hook up the L293 to do this. I have an idea but i am a bit uncertain and i just want to verify.
http://www.robotshop.ca/content/PDF/dfrobotshop-rover-schematic.pdf

This is a link to a Ardurio board hooked up with a L293.  Where do you apply the PWM to which PIN.
Yes as you can tell i am bit confused I see it has two inputs i am guessing on inverting input and one is not.

So where do i apply the PWM pin D8 and D7 right. and I just drive pin D5 and D6 high. But then how do i get it to do the reverse. Yes i am pretty sure i have the idea behind this wrong since doesn't make much sense.
So please explain.

To apply the PWM from PIN D5 and D6 to ENA and ENB of L293, these two pins are for Enable H-Bridge.
The pin D7 and D8 are for direction change.

Hi,

Enable inputs shouldn't be used for PWM, since they're slower shifting - the drive signals should be the PWM signals.
