7V DC Motor with Encoder Defective

Post by SKendrish »

Hello,

I recently purchased two 7V DC motors. After testing with an arduino and H bridge, it seems only one of the two motors work. Just using simple arduino code to run the motors back and forth for 5 seconds, one of the motors worked and the other did not. After checking the output voltage with a multimeter it seems the broken motor does not draw enough voltage from the h bridge, however the working motor did. I tested different output points in the H bridge and still had the same problem. Order ID 3006051-0986656083.

Post a photo showing your hardware and connections and we'll take a look. 800x600 images usually work best.
