re:Compumotor Parts Update

Brian,

Just a thought, you might consider "pairing up" with a knowledgeable
person from this list. Pick out a motor, find it's companion driver
board & power supply, and fire it up! That gives you something to play
with. Fixing/building up your own boards, unless you have the PROPER
schematic and skills, will probably not be fruitful.

Alan

PS, Mariss IS just such a "knowledgeable person"!
