Other people have faced the same issue, so your best bet is to piggyback on their knowledge and mistakes. I don't think we have anything specifically selected for its aerodynamic qualities, but the folks over at http://diydrones.com live and breathe this kind of thing.

I would like to drive 2 motors 1 A each seprately without piggyback.
So I tought, in addition to wiring the channels in pair, I should also make sure that the output of the paired channels is exactly the same.

... of options. You can pull the existing resistors and replace them with 82 ohm resistors (that's the standard value closest to 80 ohms), or you can piggyback a 120 ohm resistor on top of each one that's already there. The piggybacked version will probably be a little easier, and should get you almost ...

... with the shield will heat up too much. I dont want to go to L293B because they have no flybacks, any ideas for extra current. I prefer not to piggyback because of the uglyness lol. If only there is an identical shield like this but uses L298 with flybacks. http://www.pololu.com/catalog/product/1443 ...

... RAM interface, for example, and immediately increase the board complexity. (well, excepting the SiP devices such as used on BeagleBoard that piggyback the RAM into the CPU package, even though the CPU chip itself doesn't have that sort of internal RAM.) On a related note, does anyone know ...

Hello everybody, I'm using Arduino 2009 with Adafruit motor shield to drive a stepper motor that runs at 4.8v 1.6A. As the online docs says, I've piggyback one of the two L293D on the board. If I power arduino and the motor shield through the usb input everything works fine, but using a 12v lead ...

... resume purpose. Should we have Arduino Uno, RTC, motor shield, a very big breadboard? How can I lay out those together, and I don’t want to do piggyback shields? How do I prepare power supply? Each board needs 9V? Please help us to make correct order. Gunn High InvenTeam

I have a qurestion for confusing

1. if i have just two of SN754410 and not have L293D, i will make the one piggyback?


2. if i have two piggyback and put into Adafruit Motor,i will operate the four of 12v and 2100mA?

it mean i will use all dc motor pins

a ha sorry
link http://www.motorbank.kr/shop/goods/good ... tegory=002
it has 12v and 2100mA
IF i make piggyback with two of SN754410, does it work?
and i wonder does it right for piggyback with two of SN754410.

my motor needs 2100mA and 12V I bought Adafruit and i need your help. i have known about piggyback and i have a one question. SN754410 has 1A and 2A peak and if i make piggyback with two of SN754410 that's mean 2A and 4A peak? or just mean made piggyback with SN754410 ...

Would this work - a bit more power - http://www.pololu.com/catalog/product/1109? It has a 3.3A stall.

If not, I'm just going to use http://www.pololu.com/catalog/product/1597 and piggyback the shield.

... fairly big, so this seems good for the motor shield - http://www.pololu.com/catalog/product/1582 . No. That has a 2.2A stall current. Even piggybacked with heat-sinks, you would have a hard time driving it with a motor shield. Alternatively, I could use the original one from pololu (http://www.pololu.com/catalog/product/1597) ...

... . Alternatively, I could use the original one from pololu (http://www.pololu.com/catalog/product/1597) and piggyback the chips (does this mean all three chips on top of each other in one socket)? Could that be mounted with this - http://www.pololu.com/catalog/product/1084

The pololu gearmotor has a 0.8A stall current. It would work with the motorshield if you piggyback the chips. The Tamiya gearboxes are a bit finicky to work with. The low voltage motors and plastic gear-trains make for poor low-speed operation (if you can get them to ...

... Colors Green and blue are no problem. Next "Q" is (and I looked in the forum for it but cant seem to find it.. When I wish to take the piggyback off the UNO R3, The suggested pins are (A4), (A5) +5v+, and of course -neg-. am I missing a pin? cause when i hook it up as per "instructions" ...
