Schematics

Circuit layout

This is the entire circuit. If you have the specified driver you wont have to do all the mess with two drivers. You might have to make some changes if you use 1.5v batteries instead of 1.2v, couse the driver only supports up to 12v before you have to power it with aditional 5v for the inner circuitry, but you can probably figure that out.
