Hi There Question: Is it possible to vary the peak current in a stepper motor via a picaxe? For example, consider a stepper motor that has to complete 500 steps 0-100 steps = 1 A through coils 100-200 steps = 0.5A through coils 200-300 steps = 1.2A through coils 300-500 steps = 0.5A through...

Hi I currently drive a 12v dc motor using a picaxe and relay. My question is does anyone see a problem with connecting a solenoid in series with the motor? I need the solenoid to turn on whenever the motor does. There are no spare outputs on the picaxe. Thank you nathan

Hi I currently have an rf transmitter remote control that opens my garage door. I would like to make a new transmitter to fit on my push bike. How do I find out what code my remote is transmitting so that I can design a new circuit? For example, can I somehow view the transmitted signal with...

Just to clarify - can the L293D run two motors rated at 1.2A each, or 2 motors rated at .6A each. The data sheet says 600mA output current capability per channel and 1.2A peak output current (non repetitive) Also, what does not repetitive mean? Because I want to drive a stepper motor at...
