    Oops, did I just fry my PhidgetsHC motors card?

    I hooked it up to a 28V power supply by mistake (it specifies 9-15V) and now it won't work with 12V connected.

    I guess there's no overvoltage protection and I ruined it. Hope this helps someone learn from my mistake!

    Not as bad as I thought, it was just a bad wire connection. Seems to work fine with 12v now.
