Hi again. I would like to ask one of you for a little help with my latest problem.
I need to build a H-Bridge board using the L298. I would like to keep it as simple as possible. This is a new hobby for me and I am learning quick but have quite a way to go. I checked out the L298 data sheet several times and gained some understanding of it. However when it comes to laying components out on a circuit board I get confused. Looking on the internet I found a circuit that looked straightforward but right in the middle it has a 1000uf capacitor. Why? Can I leave it out?
I plan on running two 12v dc motors under 2A and have two types of diodes to choose from. 1N5404 3amp and 1N 5819 1amp. This is the link to the page I looked at.
