Im having troubles getting the transistors in my H-bridge from turning into miniture heating element To test my values I tried wiring a single transistor to the motor.
How should I wire the transistor properly and what value of resistance should I use on the base?
I've tried wiring the transistor on the high and low side of the motor, both result in a really hot transistor. Ive also used values from 10K to 10 on the base and cant find a combo that will provide current to the motor and keep the transistor from becoming a mini-sun on my proto board.
The motor is rated at 5V 1 A, voltage source is 6V.
