L293D/L298N motor driver to Arduino Uno geared DC Globe motor HD

http://tinyurl.com/8ogykgk - Get it for yourself! Here is show how the L293D or the L298N motor driver chip is hooked up in the proper circuit on a PCB to run the Globe DC geared motors. These motors can produce a lot of torque and thus a large back EMF when reversing directions without a proper break. That is why it is imperative to have freewheeling diodes and electrolytic capacitors in place for surge suppression. I recommend using the L298N motor driver because it is much more robust and has better over-current protection. The L298N will be able to drive much higher loads (stronger motors). The Arduino is just one way to use the L298N or L293D for PWM, but you can also create a PWM circuit using the 555 timer. http://www.555timercircuits.org/555-timer-signal-generator-circuit/
