Hi there,

Sorry for the delayed reply on this. I can't think of a good reason why this wouldn't work but have a list of things to try. If it doesn't work after this then we'll replace the hardware

• If you attach the motors to the battery directly, do they turn?
• Do you have any kind of bench top power supply that you could use to power the mini driver instead of the batteries to see if that helps?
• Does the blink sketch work on the mini driver?

Apologies that you're seeing this problem.

Regards

Alan

Thanks for the reply. I tried the hooking the battery directly to the motor and it runs very fast.

I don't have a variable power supply but I have a couple of wall adapters ranging from 5 to 16 volts with various amp levels. Whats the max/min supply voltage of the board?

The blink sketch works and the blue light happily blinks.

I'm sorry for the trouble I am trying everything I can think of.
