Motor shield v2.3

[Albr]

Actually I'm working with the motor shield V2.3, but I have a problem tor run the DC motor. I'm suplying the shield with a 7,4V battery and i want to run a DC motor of 3-6V.
the servomotors runs perfectly but the Motors not. I don't know whats happening.

Please post photos of the front and back of the shield and the electrical specifications for the motor you are using.

Please post the electrical specifications for your motors - and show us how they are wired up.

Also post the code you are using to test.

General specifications
Typical operating voltage: 3 V
Gear ratio options: 11.6, 18.0 :1
Free-run motor shaft speed @ 3V: 9400 rpm1
Free-run current @ 3V: 150 mA2
Stall current @ 3V: 2700 mA
Motor shaft stall torque @ 3V: 0.97 oz·in3

Arduino code:
#include <AFMotor.h>

AF_DCMotor motor(4);

void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600); // set up Serial library at 9600 bps
Serial.println("Motor test!");

// turn on motor
motor.setSpeed(200);

motor.run(RELEASE);
}

void loop() {
uint8_t i;

Serial.print("tick");

motor.run(FORWARD);
for (i=0; i<255; i++) {
motor.setSpeed(i);
delay(10);
}

for (i=255; i!=0; i--) {
motor.setSpeed(i);
delay(10);
}

Serial.print("tock");

motor.run(BACKWARD);
for (i=0; i<255; i++) {
motor.setSpeed(i);
delay(10);
}

for (i=255; i!=0; i--) {
motor.setSpeed(i);
delay(10);
}


Serial.print("tech");
motor.run(RELEASE);
delay(1000);
}

Code: Select all

#include <AFMotor.h>

The AFMotor library is for the V1 motor shield. You need to use the V2 motor shield library.

when I put this code:

Code: Select all

#include <Wire.h>
#include <Adafruit_MotorShield.h>
#include "utility/Adafruit_PWMServoDriver.h"

// Create the motor shield object with the default I2C address
Adafruit_MotorShield AFMS = Adafruit_MotorShield(0x60); 
// Or, create it with a different I2C address (say for stacking)
// Adafruit_MotorShield AFMS = Adafruit_MotorShield(0x61); 

// Select which 'port' M1, M2, M3 or M4. In this case, M1
Adafruit_DCMotor *myMotor = AFMS.getMotor(1);
// You can also make another motor on port M2
//Adafruit_DCMotor *myOtherMotor = AFMS.getMotor(2);
int bluetoothRX= 0;
int bluetoothTX= 1;

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);           // set up Serial library at 9600 bps
  Serial.println("Adafruit Motorshield v2 - DC Motor test!");

  AFMS.begin();  // create with the default frequency 1.6KHz
  //AFMS.begin(1000);  // OR with a different frequency, say 1KHz
  
  // Set the speed to start, from 0 (off) to 255 (max speed)
  myMotor->setSpeed(150);
  myMotor->run(FORWARD);
  // turn on motor
  myMotor->run(RELEASE);
}

void loop() {
  uint8_t i;
  
  Serial.print("tick");

  myMotor->run(FORWARD);
  for (i=0; i<255; i++) {
    myMotor->setSpeed(i);  
    delay(10);
  }
  for (i=255; i!=0; i--) {
    myMotor->setSpeed(i);  
    delay(10);
  }
  
  Serial.print("tock");

  myMotor->run(BACKWARD);
  for (i=0; i<255; i++) {
    myMotor->setSpeed(i);  
    delay(10);
  }
  for (i=255; i!=0; i--) {
    myMotor->setSpeed(i);  
    delay(10);
  }

  Serial.print("tech");
  myMotor->run(RELEASE);
  delay(1000);
}

the program says to me this:

Sorry but now the computer doesn't recognize the bluetooth shield, and i don't touch the bluetooth for anything.
