Hi,does anyone know how i would program a picaxe 28x1 chip so that two DC motors being driven by an L293D chip can run? I realise the L293D chip is connected to 4 picaxe inputs but how would i make the motors move forward and backward?

Hi,

I’m building my first robot and I’m using an 28x1 starter pack with a L293D, too. 

These tutorials explain many things like that, I think you should read them:

 - How to make your first robot

 - Picaxe for Dummies

But, returning to your question, I’m using this:

Backward: high 4, low 5, high 6, low 7

Foward: low 4, high 5, low 6, high 7

RTFM

This is question number 2 you have asked without looking at the manual… Read the manual. Read the manual. Info about the motor driver is in there, using ADC’s and digital inputs is in there -everything is in there. Read the manual.

I’m sorry.

What I was meaning to say was…

I would love to help you, what manual are you looking at and what page number? If you could describe what you have looked up yourself and why it confuses you, I would be happy to help.

Again, what page number are you on?
