Originally posted by nledevil October 17, 2024
I am starting to add LCSC part numbers to the schematic so I can have jcbpcb create/populate the board. I noticed you are using Allegra A3908 brushed dc motor drivers. Is there a reason for this? A3908's are pretty pricey and a Texas Instruments motor driver would be significantly cheaper. Would there be any drawback to using a cheaper driver to make the overall cost per unit lower?

If it is a drop-in-replacement we could think about adding this to v0.2.0 release
