I have one of the Dual-Channel DC Motor Driver-12A connected to a Raspberry Pi 3B+ as follows

GPIO.setup(12, GPIO.OUT)  # PWM0 for Motor A

GPIO.setup(13, GPIO.OUT)  # PWM1 for Motor B

GPIO.setup(17, GPIO.OUT)  # A_IN1

GPIO.setup(27, GPIO.OUT)  # A_IN2

GPIO.setup(22, GPIO.OUT)  # B_IN1

GPIO.setup(23, GPIO.OUT)  # B_IN2

The motors are connected to M1 and M2 as indicated and power to P- and P+ using the inner connectors. Power is provided by a 12V 8Ah Lithium battery and the State led lights up and remains solid

VCC 1 and 6 are connected to the Pi pins 2 and 4 being 5 Volt

GND 5 and X are connected to the Pi pins 34 and 30 being Ground  GND

The motors do not run at all 
 

 

What could be the problem?
