Dude -- TAKE OUT THE RESISTOR. I just can't stress that enough... TAKE OUT THE RESISTOR. This isn't a car stereo, it's a motor control. When the beep happens (power-up beep) with a resistor in series with the power supply BAD THINGS HAPPEN.

If a resistor was important, (or even desirable) we would either include it, or recommend it.

Give me a call on Monday (ask for me specifically -- I get into work at about 10am on Mondays.) Tell Christy that I asked you on this forum to call for me specifically. I'll make sure we get a MMM out to you. Just take out the resistor -- OK?

And don't all you people call me on Monday.
