Wow $40. That's impressive.
I'm confused by this statement. If the enable line wasn't inverted, this just means the all the drivers will be inadvertently powered on as soon as I connect the 12V.
Why would this release smoke? Why couldn't these drivers handle being powered on at the same time?

Note: The enable line is inverted from the way it works on the Pololu drivers so this MUST be changed in firmware before powering on the 12V to the drivers, otherwise the smoke will escape.
