I have this 2WD Platform: http://www.robotshop.com/dfrobot-2wd-mobile-platform-for-arduino-4.html It comes with 2 DC Motors: http://www.robotshop.com/dfrobot-6v-180-rpm-micro-dc-geared-motor-with-back-shaft.html I am powering the 2 DC Motors with five regular AA Batteries. I am powering the Ardui…

Intermittently, the Arduino will reset if the Arduino is telling the motors to spin. The oldest problem in the book. You need supply decoupling:- http://www.thebox.myzen.co.uk/Tutorial/De-coupling.html and a common ground between the two supplies. http://www.thebox.myzen.co.uk/Tutorial/Power_S…

I've added in two K5M 104 capacitors (.1uF, nonpolar). They are placed between the H-bridge and the motors. I checked again, and all of the grounds are connected. Unfortunately the Arduino still is resetting. Is that where the capacitors should be placed? Am I using the correct capacitors? Tha…

I'd say the resetting of the arduino is due to somehow your motors are dropping the voltage supply to the arduino rather than elecrtical noise that caps are normally used for. Measure the voltage on the arduino 5v pin and the 9v battery while the motors are starting to see if there is a voltage drop…

I believe there is a voltage drop. How do I go about solving this problem?

Ok let make a trouble shooting 1_ Disconnect the both motors cables and use there a resistance with one LED, check one by one and see if the problem is there. 2-If the problem is persist check another H bridge board (connect your resistance with one LED to the arduino directly) in this way you w…

Since you're already running the motors from their own supply I'd look at these things: Noise from the motors. Try adding .1 uF caps across the motor terminals (right AT the terminals). Verify that your bridge can provide enough current to the motors. (Please indicate the bridge you are using …

Hi I have purchased the same 2WD arduino chassis. I am facing a problem which i was hoping you guys could help me with. I am using 6.5V 2700mAh rechargeable batteries. The datasheet for the motors says that at 3V the maximum speed is 90rpm. I use a linear regulator to step down my battery voltage …

MonroeD, without a schematic we can only guess at what is wrong.

What H-bridge are you using? A schematic would be helpful also.
