never call anything a "motor controller", it is either a BLDC controller, a stepper controller, or a DC motor driver

this PCB doesn't look like it has a driver, so the ai created something that isn't compatible with anything most likely

i have no idea w/o the source but i keep seeing people create a PCB without saying which motor they connect to, also the name "motor controller" is causing a great deal of confusion internally- i don't want to see anyone using that name in packages!!!!

it looks like it might be double sided so maybe the bottom has a driver? Good idea to make it double sided
