Hello, I am very new to this stuff, so any help is greatly appreciated: I am trying to drive a 9V DC motor with using an L298n and a pic. I’ve installed the sensors and pic and the program and tested them, all seems to fine on that area; however, my problem lies with the L298: I've build the circuit shown on the data-sheet to control a motor using one of the build-in H bridges with 4 diodes. I’ve tested if the L298 is working as it should by checking the voltages it applies, all that seems to be working as well. But whenever I connect the motor in between the output terminals the voltage drops drastically, and the motor does not turn at all, although the current sensor shows an increase in current drawn. I am using a small motor and within the built-system whenever I connect a 9volt dc battery directly, it draws only around 150ma, so I presume L298 should be capable of supporting that current? Any ideas on what I am doing wrong? Thanks for the help.
