So when you remove the connections to the motor driver does the voltage recover?

No my voltage does not recover, my first thought was that i had caused a short circuit which would make my voltage drop but that was not the case

Good. So are you sure whatever sketch you are using during these 'tests' is writing a steady HIGH output and not switching between high and low at some rate, as your meter will give a lower voltage reading in reponse to a changing digital output?

the above sketch is my primary sketch that am using and i have tried sever different variations of that sketch and seem to always get the same result. one of the sketches i wrote will give power to the motor pins correctly but the speed pins will sometimes work and sometimes not
