Motor wiring to prevent back feed Cytron

On the first v2.4 design, Q2/Q3 wouldn’t let the “PWM2 FreeWheel Mod” line go high enough to activate the Cytron’s with the free wheeling mod, so the latest design adds another branch off PWM2 for “PWM2 FreeWheel Mod” with it’s own protection resistor.

On v2.4 PCBs there is a fix,

Micro - cut red circled trace, add yellow circled 330 ohm resistor.

Standard

Once this fix is done, or if you have the newest v2.5 PCB, then both free wheeling mod and the mosfet LOCK output should work.
