Motuino Board V.1

The first board to build is to control a DC motor, the board it's based on the one created by David Cuartielles http://blushingboy.net/p/motorShieldV3/
Motuino stands for Motor Control for Arduino, simple, isn't it?.
I noticed that this board may control small DC motors, but sometimes the L293D gets hot quickly if there's a lot of load, specially if you are controlling a motor for a robot, well; it's clear that we're using it for this pourpouse.
The design I'm developing it's based in the L298h, unlike L293D, it's more powerfull and suport bigger DC motors and more current.
On the next entry I'll post some diagrams, stay tuned...

cheerio !!

hello people, Welcome to te new blog dedicated to the design of printed boards for the Arduino. Come back soon, a new experimental board it's on the way...
