 I concur here, I have a 6inch X 6inch piece of aluminium for 2 of
 them, and this seems to dissapate all the heat I am generating.  I
 could see longer runs or steeper grades would require a larger
 heatsink.

 I was the one who originally posted the 18200 to HB connection, and
 it was wrong.  I had a couple pins switched.  I have the correct
 version attatched.  This doesn't have the current sense or anything (I
 havn't got to that yet :-).
 
 One thing I forgot to do early in the assembly was to connect the
 18200 to the signal ground on the HB.  Boy did they act funny then.

 That is how I got mine.

 Me either.

 Glad someone checked it, yup, the drawing is wrong.
 
 pin 3 on the LMD18200 goes to pin 2 on the handyboard, and pin 5 on
 the LMD18200 goes to pin 1 on the handy board.
