In my project I am running several applications which require 12v, these are Two DC motors which drive two high torque gearboxes connected to tank tracks and a claw run by another high torqu dc motor and 32 IR leds for my wireless video camera. Now im pretty useless when it comes to figuring out wether 12xAA is going to hack driving at most 2 motors and 32 LEDS at any one time especially when using the picaxe and other ICs its hard to tell whats in parallel and whats in series if you get my continental drift.
The '32 leds' is a kit from jaycar http://www.jaycar.co.nz/productView.asp?ID=KG9068&CATID=&keywords=infrared+spotlight&SPECIAL=&form=KEYWORD&ProdCodeOnly=&Keyword1=&Keyword2=&pageNumber=&priceMin=&priceMax=&SUBCATID=
I intend on using two l293d h-bridges to run three DC motors in both directions and to turn the 32 LEDs on and off. The leds will be swithed on via the l293d via a picaxe 08m and the 3 motors will be switched on via the l293d via a picaxe 18x. Can any one help me as to wether my 12v battery pack will deliver enough current for this?
Thanks
