The INA260 stops working when the motor driver is driven in one of two directions #52

The INA260 will work just fine when the motor driver is driven in one direction, but will break down once the direction is switched. I2C communication will stop working and current readings will be nonsense.

The problem has been discovered and documented in the wiki. In short, our circuit has damaged our INA260 to a non-functional state. We now need to try balancing control using just the MPU6050 and the angular position it measures.
