Wiring a H-Bridge for Robotics Project

AI Thread Summary
Wiring an H-bridge for a robotics project can be confusing, especially when the available instructions are inadequate. Users are encouraged to consult the datasheet and related documents from Texas Instruments for better guidance. A detailed tutorial on building a compact and powerful H-bridge is available on the ikalogic website, which may help clarify the wiring process. Participants in the discussion express appreciation for shared resources and offer further assistance. This exchange highlights the importance of reliable documentation and community support in robotics projects.

So I am wiring up a H-bridge for a small electric motor for a robotics project and am a little confused.
This is the only schematic that I can find for this H-bridge.

There is a pdf on that site that is supposedly instructions...but they are pretty much worthless, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Nice website, ikalogic. Thanks for sharing.
 

Thread 'How might electronics be different if AC voltage was 72V at 45 Hz?'

Hey guys. I have a question related to electricity and alternating current. Say an alien fictional society developed electricity, and settled on a standard like 73V AC current at 46 Hz. How would appliances be designed, and what impact would the lower frequency and voltage have on transformers, wiring, TVs, computers, LEDs, motors, and heating, assuming the laws of physics and technology are the same as on Earth?

Thread 'Why does the amperage go real high if there is a low voltage short?'

I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...

Thread 'What happens if shielded cable has a short to the shield?'

While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...
