You need to supply power to them to power up

I'm not seeing the motor either. IMG_1730

I do see the board:

But scan finds nothing. Tried two boards. Swapped the motors.

It looks like you can detect the motor when doing the firmware updates though based on your screenshot?

For me it's definitely the power supply. The 5v won't power the 330 for more than a moment. The 12 v causes the 330 to burn up but won't power the 430 for more than a moment.

@yudhisteer any update?

I had one bad board -- got a new one and it worked. Makes you want to just use the U2D2
