Scanning motors bricked my small motors

[jzxchiang1]

When I plugged in the 330s into the driver board (without a voltage reducer), which was plugged into the 12V power adapter, it immediately went up in smoke... am I supposed to use the voltage reducer just to scan the small motors??

plug in the 5v adapter, not the 12v when using the smaller servos

Yup, paid $50 to learn that lesson haha

When I use the 5v adapter it doesn't power the 330's for more than a brief moment on plug in. Anyone run into this issue or know how to solve? Are you using the linked power supply?

When I use the 12v the motor starts to burn up as @jzxchiang1 experienced :P
