    I have two of these boards and they both have the same result no function on channel 2 channel one works fine. I’ve even tried a second Arduino i’ve also tried moving the pins from channel one which works to channel 2, and it will not work

    i ordered up some new drivers for a different project and guess what channel 2 is not working !

    Sadly it appears somebody has robbed the quality control failures and is distributing them to suppliers !

    however the fix is pretty straightforward

    we drilled the through hole and fitted a copper wire / rod

    Its so sad that a great little driver board has been a target of dishonesty :(

    I have two of these controllers and they both suffer from the same issue that the controller for some reason will go the opposite direction for a split second and cause hitches in the motor rotation. The LEDs on the board that indicate direction (green for forward and red for reverse) show the issue well where let's say you're going in reverse so the red LEDs are on, but then for a split second the board will turn on the green LEDs (while the red LEDs are still on) causing the motor to momentarily hitch, and the blue power LED also kinda blinks off in that same time frame too.

    Does anyone else have this issue or has found some kind of solution to this issue?

    Do you have a problem as above ? Is there continuity across both sides of the board ?
