Dear Brisk,

The PCB's you sell (and I bought three of them) are missing the D5 diode... you mention them as being mounted.. but they're not... This causes problems as mentioned by user 'rew' in this post: viewtopic.php?t=134

As for me... This missing component probably caused my DRV chip to malfunction and while trying to find the problem making things worse by shorting out...

So please modify your list of installed components to reflect the missing D5 and spare other buyers the trouble of blown components..

Regards,

Just to share my experience... I bought two bare pcb, took some time to solder but they turn out with no problems. The only issue so far I notice is not that clear silkscreen, otherwise the quality is decent...

And here is how I build the case around the PCB, top and pottom plates are going to be aluminium for better cooling...

Here is a BOM of only the parts *NOT* included in the partially assembled boards.
