Hello, the motor controler started to smoke, now ports 1 and 2 of the dc motors are dead, I assume the motor shield is eiter deffective or I did something wrong, I can not be entirely sure if it is a manufacturing deffect, I am hoping you will decide to ship a replacement.
My options are to purchase an other at adafruit or elsewhere,
If you replace it ,i will get adafruit products in the future as the brand is trustworthy.
If not replaced, will have to assume adafruit was a bad choice and seek a better brand.
I had clean soldering, no shorts, voltage was kept to specs. Still unsure what caused the smoke. (same connections and program on ports 3 and 4 are working just fine)

Please post photos showing your soldering on the board.
Also, what kind of motors are you using (post links to spec sheets if possible).
And what are you using to power the motors.
