I'm looking for schematics about h bridges. Can you help-me?
Thanks!

    Fabiano! Your alive. How come you've never replied to my mail? Anyway, I
    know that www.beam-online.com has a circuit or two for a 6 transistor
    H-Bridge. Maybe I'll get around to doing an article on it. Have you seen the
    new webpage? www.gorobotics.net

    An H bridge is very simple, though somewhat difficult to show over email.
    You need 4 transistors, and an inverter. Depending on the motor you may need
    current limiting resistors.

    1. You have your input for direction - tie this to the base of two
    transistors.
    2. Tie the collector of one of these to Vcc and the emitter to the positive
    side of the motor for forward operation.
    3. Tie the collector of the other to the negative side of the motor for
    forward operation and the emitter to ground.
    4. Now, also connect your input for direction to an inverter. Run the output
    of that inverter to the base of the remaining two transistors.
    2. Tie the collector of one of these to Vcc and the emitter to the positive
    side of the motor for reverse operation.
    3. Tie the collector of the other to the negative side of the motor for
    reverse operation and the emitter to ground.

    I'd try ASCII Art but I use a proportional font and I suspect you do too.
    I also assume you use NPN transistors.

    So:
    Transistor 1: Base to Input, Collector to Vcc, Emitter to + on motor.
    Transistor 2: Base to Input, Collector to - on motor, Emitter to Ground.
    Inverter: Input to Direction Input, Output to Transistor 3 & 4's base.
    Transistor 3: Base to Inverter Output, Collector to Ground, Emitter to +
    on motor.
    Transistor 4: Base to Inverter Output, Collector to - on motor, Emitter
    to Vcc.

    Where + and - are both for forward operation.
    Hopefully this will help you.

    well boys and girls, if you want the best exploitation and very usable
    circuits, go to the links in this guy's web site.

    the explanations are excellent with a little humor (fuse test mode) and very
    elegant and simple diagrams.
    if one of these doesn't work for you, your probably in the wrong
    (hobby/business).
    no offense intended, but this is really good stuff.
