Hello dimble swishblade,

 

Can I see your connections below the your K243 board? 

 

I have a K243 board and  I'm confused how to place the 4 MOSFETs and how to wire the motor to the K243 and the 24 volt power supply to the K243

 

Your reply would be of great help

Tank

We should have a little bumper sticker ready to stick on all these "no-bot-yet-bots".
