Hi all,
I just recently purchased the PIC-18X high power board couple with the L293D Motor Driver for a mini project of mine.
There's a piece of documentation that has me quite confused:
On the documentation of the CHI-035, it says that I can place an additional 12V source to power the outputs.
However, just below that it states that 'only a single 4.5-6V supply should be used with the motor outputs'.
Therefore, if I were to use a 12V source, would I fry the L293D chip?
And if this is the case, is there a way for me to use a 12V source to power my outputs (in this case being a pair of motors and a silanoid)?
Thanks
