Re: Victor turning on and off under load, with non-IFI microcontroller

It also sounds like your power source is not adequate to providing power to the motor and the micro-controller. I think when the motor tries to turn, it draws so much power that it resets your micro-controller, making the motor click. Using a small power adapter that plugs into the wall is a sure bet of this, but also trying to run from a small battery or a bad battery will also cause this.
