And recycling! I love to take apart old electronics and learn about them. You can imagine what kind of cool things that are inside these scraps.

looks like it's time to buy a silver pen and fab some circuits!
Hey!
It's an good idea.

Cool project, I'm tempted to build it even though I don't have a use for one right now.
I would suggest using an L298 h-bridge though if the L293 is getting hot enough to melt your breadboard.
Thank you! The fun is in building it, but printing and giving the images is cool too.
The L298 don't get hot easy? Good to know, thanks.
