Ok I had the board up and running great. Did all the tests had no problems. Except i was in a bit of a hurry and did not put the heat sink on the drivers chips. (Bad Idea) I'm using the 3a motors so I think what happened is it just got to hot and self destructed, smoke fire all that cool stuff. They were running pretty hot.

Anyhow now I don't get 5v on the board anymore, it's less than 1v now. That was after I took the driver chip off.

I hate to just start over, so maybe if anyone has ideas about how to check things out id appreciate it.

I guess I'll start desoldering the other chips and start testing components errrrrrr?

Note to self follow the instructions.......

Oh I'm also working on getting back on the Yahoo board. (lost my login)
