Arduino TA0136 2 Wheel Drive Wiring Assistance

Hi guys,

I hope this is the right section, just got this for Christmas for my son and we're having trouble getting everything wired up correctly. As this is a basic model I assume there should really only be one way to do this but the diagrams aren't really clear for us to understand.

This is what we have - https://www.auselectronicsdirect.com.au/arduino-2-wheel-drive-ultrasonic-robot-kit

This is the manual including wiring diagram on page 24-25 - https://www.auselectronicsdirect.com.au/assets/files/TA0136%20Manual%20rev%20V3.0.pdf

These are images of how it's been wired so far -

I can only assume I need something else connect to my switch for the 5V, but I also can't confirm if the right colours have been connected to the right part of the board. Please let me know if you can see anything obvious missing and I will attempt to get this going for my son.

Any help is appreciated, even if it's just a clear diagram.

Cheers

Hmm, the only thing that jumped out at me was in the last picture: IMG 20171226 151604 hosted at ImgBB — ImgBB where it looks like you have not connected ground to the middle of that 3-way screw terminal connector on the L298N board.

See the diagram on page 23 of that manual.

Yours,
