Power supply choice: universal laptop psu, traditional linear (transrectifyer), car or solar panel lead 
battery are all suitable. Switching PSUs can sometimes create interference and not work properly. 

IF 

YOUR MOTORS DO NOT WORK PROPERLY STOP AND DO NOT CHANGE PARAMETERS! USE A 
CAR BATTERY. IF THIS DOES NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM CONTACT US FOR ADVICE!!
