ok, i added an electrolytic cap to the Vdd and the ground and it works good :)  one problem i have now is that the output of the transistors is not enough to run the motors :(  I need help figuring this one out.  I have the output of the chip going to a 100k resistor that goes to the base of a switching NPN.  The collector is connected to a 10K resistor then to ground.  The emitter of the NPN is going to the ground of the PNP transistor.  The collector of the PNP is going to the motor and the emitter is going straight to the voltage in without restrictions.   I wish I could draw up a schematic, but i have not found a program to help me do that.   What am i doing wrong to not be able to power the motors?
