Re: Lava Micro FlexDrive Driver (lavadrive2) fits
So the last time I was reading about the lava drive (long time ago) if you hooked it up to the batteries without a load you would damage the driver. Is this still true?

Re: Lava Micro FlexDrive Driver (lavadrive2) fits
Yes. It is a "boost" driver. That means that it kicks the voltage/current up until it reaches the output set by the pot. Without a load on, it just keeps increasing the voltage/current until it overheats itself or goes beyond the rating of a component and dies.
ALWAYS have a load hooked up whenever there is power available to the driver. I recommend that you unhook the power or remove the batteries BEFORE disconnecting a load. That way you cannot accidentally turn on the power.
Peace,
dave

Oh because I read this when drlava was just building the V2 drivers. He said still had to test it.
but he tested it and they still get damaged?
