    Yeah that's what i thought too, hence why i buy few different model.

    Well, yes i hear some little noise which is more or less louder depending of the model... but there's always some noise when you play around the minimum low-voltage threshold.

    I tried higher PWM frequencies and it may cure some part of the problem on some voltage range and on some motor model. but it's certainly not perfect on ALL motor i have here.

    To me, in this specific case, a better choice could be to use some kind of linear regulation. Something around the following.

    it have some good point and some bad ones. But do you really a 0-100% regulation? mmm

    Malc, don't worry... it's an interesting and funny thread.

    An idea... we could skip the PWM and use some I2C DAC...

    It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
    There's no problem, only learning opportunities.
