Here is another option for a motor driver http://www.pololu.com/catalog/product/1212. I am currently using something similar to this drive with my windshield wiper motor http://monsterguts.com/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=4 and it turns a 21" CRT monitor with no problems. |

I added this to the post above about the drive from India. Thought I had better make it a new post just to draw attention, if anyone decides to use this drive. Important note about this drive! I asked the website if this drive supports dynamic braking. Here is the reply: --- Quote --- No. Braking is not provided. Please use DC Motor Driver 20A instead which ill support braking. --- End quote --- So, if you use this drive with Mrotate, be sure to turn off dynamic braking in Mrotate. Some drives will self destruct if you use dynamic braking, not sure if this one will, but I dont suggest you try it. |

Thanks everyone for the tips and links. And finally found a motor that will serve the L298 module, because it only supports 2 amps, I thought a junkyard motor for automotive glass, and even tested uses only 1.5 amps and has a good torque to rotate an LCD. In tests so far I'm having success, I hope it stays that way;) Next stage, create the mechanism with gears. |

That motor should be more than powerful enough to turn an LCD. Good luck with your build, and keep us updated. |
