Hello,

But that doesn't make much of a difference: the H-bridge you use had
74hc14-inputs, do basicly the signal is made digital right away. Maybe the
pulse-duration is a bit changed because the 'extra' inverterinput draws a
little current from inbetween the resistor and the capacitor of the
Nv-neuron and your motor turns the other way around as it would in the way
it is 'normally' connected, but for the rest I don't think there is a
difference.

I thought for a second about something like a
voltage-driven-PWM-oscillator, which can be connected to the analog part of
the Nv-neuron and thus regulating the power to the motor via this
PWM-oscillator, but that isn't quite it either, is it?
If it is possible to make a voltage-controlled-current-source-H-bridge then
we have what we want. The voltage-controlled-current-source shouldn't pose
a problem, but making a h-bridge out of it ....
