Hello Micke,

  1. When we say it can handle peaks of 5-6 A that is referring to transients (very short time periods). If your motor is stalled for longer than a couple of seconds, the driver is going to go into thermal shutdown mode. We don’t recommend relying on thermal shutdown because it will shutdown at an unknown time, and might damage the driver if done enough times. If you haven’t bought the driver yet, I would recommend something beefier.

What voltage is that stall current rating for? The stall current is a function of the voltage, so a higher voltage will mean a higher stall current.

  1. You connect A01 to B01, A02 to B02, PWMA to PWMB, AIN1 to BIN1, and AIN2 to BIN2.

  2. No
