Re: L298 goes boom ( It's Fixed!- Yeah! )

Hey dave
Yep! In this case I had to remove the new chip I put in the single
axis board to the one I just blew in the 3 axis one. When I had to
get the blown ones out, I just bent them back and forth till the pins
broke. I then heated the pins and pulled them out. A solder sucker
made quick work of the rest of the solder left in the hole.

thanks again!
