    Awesome, thanks so much for the answer. Should I also modify to board as described by the simprojects page previously linked? Or is just the MOSFETs and resistors required?

    Oh and anything to watch out for when getting a power supply? I'm assuming any 24v/7A or similar DC brick should be fine?

    Just the chips and resistors. The other diodes were not needed. Yeah 24 volts is of course fine 7 amps should be enough.
    The weak link will be the motors.

    Fantastic, thanks so much for getting back to me. If I put another pair of motors in should I wire them in series or parallel?

    It would be parallel but I need to check if I am running 2 control boards or just one...
