Motor Shield V1 Backwards problem

Post by al_skidoo »

Hello, I am having an issue where the motor shield (V1) will run the example sketch and fluctuate between 0v and 12v at the specified motor output, but it won't go to -12v. This is the basic motor test example sketch (unmodified). Obviously the motor will not the go into reverse only forward and stop. Is there something obvious I'm missing here?

Thanks
