I have two pairs of RS-550 motors attached to the Serializer and it seems to be overheating the motor controllers on the board and eventually stops working properly.  Looking at the specs on the 550 motors, it looks like the current draw is more than the 4 amp limitation on the Serializer which is causing the problems.  So, I wanted to get opinions on whether the 10-amp dual H-bridge might solve this problem.  It looks that way, but I can't tell if this H-bridge would be sufficient for the RS-550 motors, which looks like it operates normally at 10.9 amps (and I have two pairs).  If the 10-amp dual H-bridge won't work, any recommendations for a different controller would be appreciated.  Thanks, in advance.
