Project 10 Zoetrope - nothing happens (at all)

So I've been measuring at some points on the circuit and it seems that the H-bridge is eventually broken :~

I've joined once again some photos of my measurements with the multimeter to be clearer but, as I understand the situation:

  • 5v power flows through pin 9 of the Arduino, which is suppposed to power pin 1 of the H bridge
  • 5v power flows through the wire between Arduino's pin 9 and H-bridge's pin 1
  • but in the meantime almost no power is measured through pin 1 of the H-bridge.

I haven't enough experience in H-bridges to be sure (it's the first time I use one !), but I think it means it's broken (why would it measure near to zero then ?). :slight_smile:

I should receive a new h-bridge on Monday, so we'll can figure out if the problem really comes from it (although if it doesn't solve the problem, I'll really be at a loss :sweat_smile: )
