oh, oh
this had to happen, something had to go wrong, it seems my motors will
work fine with a AA, which is actually 1.2volts (its a rechargable
one) at *500ma* , eek, this isn't good, thats 5x 74hc245, which comes
to a grand total of 15 or 16 bucks, with having to buy another
gearmotor as well, this is going to cost me. However, the problem
lies in that 1x 74hc245 cost $2.65 australian, total bulls*#% if you
ask me (notice the australian accent). But there is a 74ls245
available for only 80cents each, thats much better, but will it work?
If not i'll have to find another supplier of IC's, or motors. What do you think?
