This is good for space and cost considerations from a manufacturing point of view but piss poor in terms of performance.

On stock motors this chip powers the servo motor OK, but start increasing the current draw to the PCb wth a hot(ish) motor and you will see a lack of power being delivered to the servo motor.

The work around to this is to remove the chip and make your own little h-bridge to control the motor. "the bug" turbo I made for Epochs is just right for this sort of application. and it works too!

Unfortunately, stacking this custom chip with anopther one doesn't have the same effect as stacking mosfets....

Got any of those "Bugs" PM me the details and your PP address.

there's a link down the bottom of that page to tiny's site where you can get them. I don't have a soldering location guide for them, but it's not too hard.

This "Bug" will work for the IWaver as well as the Epoch?

How much do they run and can I get a "Pimp" deal??
