Concerning the PICAXE-28X1 Starter Pack

[Gryphe]

This is a question concerning the PICAXE-28X1 Starter Pack (Which is listed as the PICAXE-28A Starter Pack on the website.)

Does it require a separate motor driver chip to control forward-reverse motions on a DC motor? It's rather unclear at the moment.

28 board datasheet

Gryphe.

Have a look in the datasheet section for this

http://www.rev-ed.co.uk/docs/axe020.pdf

There's a socket on the board labelled 293D and
four adjacent solder connection points labelled AA BB.

The full circuit is in the datasheet and there's more info in manual 3.
