i put heatsink on the chip and epoxied a thermistor to it and dug up a few motors.
can you elaborate on the support for this driver. i looked on github and didn't see anything there.
thank you

I put some commits in git, check now, motor.ino Should specify the pins in the comment, and you will need to uncomment the appropriate #define VNH20SP30 Let me know if you have success. I had 3 out of 3 bad parts.
The one that did drive without having working current sense does not heat up at all with a load of 1-2 amps.

i had trouble compiling, long story short.
i created a new tab in the ide named crc.h and copied the code for it there and deleted the ../ on the line 208 to look like this #include "crc.h"
then it compiled uploaded..
i don't feel like soldering right now.. so ill get back to it later and report..

hmm... sorry it is my fault. I don't use the ide at all, but the Makefile. I need to add a -I. to the cflags and remove the ../ Thanks for letting me know.
I don't think you need to solder if you use jumper cables, unless you didn't put a header on the part yet. Anyway let me know if it works, and if the current sense works.
