Stepper motor driver + Atmega8

[catalinstefanos]

Hello. I would like to interface an Atmega8 with a stepper motor. The motor is a little bit strong and it requires about 2.2 Amps. I burnt a L298 trying to control the motor, and someone told me i should link two L298 in parallel. I made the next schematic, is it good? (the diodes are 1N5822). Thank you

and someone told me i should link two L298 in parallel.

Hey,

I would rather use a adequate Driver. Some suggestions:
L6205
L6208
other ST-Motor-Driver

Good Luck!:wink:

Can you give me a schematic please? Thank you

You can find different schematic samples in the appNotes on the ST-site.
For instance the AN1451 or the AN1794.

To get application notes to a specific IC, you can select first the desired IC, second navigate to the section "design support".
