    What do y'all think of these drivers? I know the dof reality company uses them. But what is your guys's opinion of them?

    I think they were like 20 or $30 so you're saying for six Motors I would need six of them?
    My question is will they handle pushing Bodine Motors and is there a wiring diagram and a sketch for the Arduino here in Sim tools anywhere? I have 12 volt 23A 1/4HP 41rpm 310Lb-in. 60:1 bodine gearmotors by the way
    And yeah I know that the sabertooth are the way to go but I just can't afford that $200 for one card right now
