I looked at this: http://www.instructables.com/id/Building-Small-Robots-Making-One-Cubic-Inch-Micro/·and i saw what motor contoller chip it used (L293). I looked it up on mouser(i think it is the one described in the project): http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/STMicroelectronics/L293E/?qs=sGAEpiMZZMvHdo5hUx%252bJYrusbiDdAWjQ·and i was wondering how does this work?? How do you control it? What are its motor limits, And last how (if) can i hook it up to a BS2 (schematic???) Thanks in advance!!!
