So, in an attempt to lower my costs and pass the savings onto you (read: I'm amazingly cheap) I tried purchasing THB6064AH chips from a seller on Aliexpress. Much lower price. Guess what? They don't work, at least not anywhere near as well as the ones from my regular supplier. 

That got me thinking... Are people who purchase THB6064AH drivers on ebay getting this sort of motion and thinking that it's normal? So I made a video to show the WRONG and the RIGHT motion from one of these chips. 

...and this video will also help with the payment dispute. LOL.

Let me be clear on something: The Chinese people DO make some very nice things. I've purchased a number of very nice, working, reliable components on Aliexpress without any problems. But THB6064AH chips are supposed to be made by Toshiba for Beijing Haihua Boyan company (my supplier) because when they are, those chips work. And... they don't sell on Aliexpress or ebay.

Long story short: You get what you pay for. And when you buy a kit from MassMind.org, you get the quality chip, from the actual company that developed it, made by a major company, and a great PCB... oh, and SUPPORT!
