The driver is getting hot even at 0 current!
This is normal. Jupiter power stage includes high power MOSFET transistors which have parasitic capacitances. Switching them fast means charging and
discharging those capacitors thousands of times per second which results in power losses and temperature increase even at 0 current!
Recommendation: when motor is off, exit motor enable mode which will switch off the power stage.
6.3.3 Dynamic applications with non constant current
The Jupiter has a big thermal inertia that allows storing heat during short current pulses (exceeding nominal current) without causing an over temperature.
This allows achieving high peak current ratings without need of additional heatsink.
