im not using any breadboard etc im soldering directly to the L293d pins i dont physically have the space to have a breadboard
Ive been super careful to keep the heat down and not shorting with the solder ( between pins) that said the photo would not be clear enough
ive recreated with 5 no L293d and 3no lm708s and get identical readings and problems so dont think its a soldering problem
I dont understand why the power feed from 16 is looped thru push button + to pin9
is the drawing fundamentally wrong?
