| + | Research on 2 quad h-bridge devices. Main two choices are sparkfun's SN754410. http://www.sparkfun.com/products/315 As well as TI's L293D. http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/l293.pdf The sparkfun is a little cheaper and it also has the lower propogation delay from input to output. The sparkfun beats the ti device by 50 ns. Not much of a difference, but when considering the price differnece as well, I believe the sparkfun device will be our best option. | ||

| − | Stopped by VIP lab after work today to help finalize a variable output from the PWM. Able to change frequency and duty cycle of the motor driver. More research on the frequency aspect needs to be researched. After using the circuit from ECE362, we discovered that high frequencies do not get along well with that circuit. | + | Stopped by VIP lab after work today to help finalize a variable output from the PWM.
