For example if you set the MAX...

Blown 5A Regulator I/O

Thought I'd post this just to help out. Recently I was working with two Pololu 18/7 simple motor controllers and the EZ-B. After some configuration with the Pololu software I got the controllers working with the EZ-B. I decided to try to calibrate the left controller as it didn't feel like the right while I tested it in the servo panel. After...
