hbridge for 24V DC motors

[John Robert]

If you use an Hbridge chip for small dc motors, what kind of chip would you use to handle a 24V DC motor?

[Susan Tan]

Any Hbridge chip that can source more current than that required by the motor would be adequate. Typical chips are the L298 (if you're using an Arduino Motor Shield).

You can also stack them on top of each other (simple soldering job) with a spacer in between and that works.

Alternatively you could use a motor shield.

I've melted two H bridges into the breadboard so I suggest stacking them with a little metal spacer.
