The motor driver
jessy 2011-05-26 23:04:26 6062 Views4 Replies The shippment was received (very quick, thanks !!) and everythings works very well except the motor driver.
I've managed to get only one motor control working (the one on the right when i look at the card with the blue motor connector at the top)
That's not a motor issue, since both motors are working well on the other control.
Green & red leds on the right are on & off depending on the way i ran the motor, but leds on the left are always off, i can't turn them on.
I've tested the GPIO n° 4, 5, 6 & 7 of the duemilanove and they seems to be ok.
Any idea ?

2011-06-08 23:18:26 The voltage applied is ~9v (6x1.5 battery) I don't know about the current consumption or the motor, this is thoses given in your "tank platform kit for arduino

so i guess thoses parts are supposed to work together.

jessy 2011-05-31 00:27:44 Please let us know the voltage you applied? And the current consumption? Also the motor specification will help.

R2D2C3PO 2011-05-31 00:22:33 I've done some more tests:
- The main chip is overheating after 3/4 minuts of power
- Sometime the second motor powerup & down for some seconds then nothing
- There's no soldering, screw or motor issue, i've double checked
I really think this board has something broken.

jessy 2011-05-28 06:11:10 Can you swap the control pin to another terminal of motor drivers?
If it works which means your code or your connection has something wrong. If not, then double check the screws on terminal, it may be loose, try to tight it up. R2D2C3PO
