driving 12V motor with my Netduino

[Asaak]

Hi all!

I have a Netduino ( output voltage pin is 3.3V ) and I want to drive several 12V DC Motors. I was thinking on using a L293B, but I think maybe there is a better/cheper way to do it. I just want the motors to function in only one direction so this is why I think there is no need to use an H bridge. Maybe a relay? a transistor? If so, how would you do it?

Thank you very much!

How much current do you think your motors will need?

 

[Asaak]

at maximum, 600mA

any ideas??
