Automation, sensing and robotics • Re: Motozero motor doesn't stop

Hi,

Thanks for the thorough reply.
It is the motozero product you refer to and I have read the manual that you link to.

The chips are the correct way round (I have swapped the positions of both this afternoon as further troubleshooting, with no effect - ie I took both chips out and placed them the correct way round in each other's socket).

I did assemble it myself. It has worked fine in the past and motors 3 and 4 behave correctly and exactly the same as motor 1.

I wondered if there was a typo in the manual regarding the pins for motor2, which is how I stumbled over how to stop the motor.

What I don't get is that if it is a wiring problem, how does the motor start correctly at the correct speed? Is this proof that the enable pin is working?

If I run motor2 on its own, it behaves just the same, ie it won't stop.

I would like to try another motozero, but the PiHut UK has been out of stock for a while. Is there another 4 independent motor alternative?

Thanks,

CJ
