CRICKIT Problems with Motor connections ...

[sealyon]

I seem to be having problems with the Motor connections on my CRICKIT Feather board. I'm just trying to get a DC Motor to turn as a test. Here's the simple code I'm running:

Code: Select all

from adafruit_crickit import crickit

crickit.dc_motor_2.throttle = 1.0

I've tried both motor_1 & motor_2, and nothing moves. I also put a meter on the connections and I'm not seeing any output voltage. I have a 5V 5A power supply running my CRICKIT. I'm using the DC Gearbox Motor - "TT Motor" - 200RPM - 3 to 6VDC (#3777). I've verified that the motor moves with straight 5V from my bench supply. This is a new CRICKIT, just got it a couple weeks ago and this is the first time I've started working with it. What might the problem be and how do I further diagnose what the issue is? Appreciate any help. Thanks.

Which Feather are you using and does it have any errors when you load the code?

I'm using the STM32F405 and I'm not seeing any errors.
