I'm getting ready to do some playing with some DC motors and some stepper motors, and I happen to have tons of NPN transistors and Darlingtons, but fewer PNP transistors, and no PNP darlingtons. I saw online a mention that an H-bridge can be made with only NPN transistors, but could never find a schematic for one.
I'm totally aware there are better final solutions, but I always begin my learning with breadboard projects that help me learn the tech and try different things. (After goofing around learning, yes, I'm smart enough to use tried and true designs for final projects)
For whatever reason, the idea of building an all NPN H-bridge has been intriguing me, and I'd like to see if I could hack one out in the next few weeks. Anyone have any ideas on how it could be done?
