Arduino setup not working

watford98:
Ok so this seems to have worked, instead of sending a positive signal through the input pins it now always sends a positive signal and then sending a ground signal will start the motor instead?
Cheers for the help

Your post is a bit confusing ...

Please, follow these steps and tell what happens:

  1. Tie input "6" to ground; tie input "7" to + 5: does the motor turn?. Which direction?
  2. Reverse inputs. same questions.

Regards.
