They look very nice and would be quite easy to control with s/w. As I recall they're like the H-bridge equivalent of a stepper controller. This particular H-bridge was already under way so I've not had a chance to try the HIP4080 yet but it's certainly on the to-do list -- http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline?
