CIRC-03 (spin motor spin), Need help!

Projects General Guidance
1

Hi!

I'm totally new to working with Arduino! Yesterday I did the 1st & 2nd circuit layouts that come with the sparkfuns inventors kit.

But the 3rd circuit I just can't figure out wat I have done wrong!?

Would really appreciate some help on this one! :slight_smile:

Here's a link to the CIRC-03: http://www.instructables.com/id/Arduino-Expermentation-Kit-How-to-get-Started-wi/step5/Spin-Motor-Spin-Transistor-amp-Motor-CIR/

And a Youtube assembly: .:Spin Motor Spin:. - (Transistor and Motor) - CIRC03 - YouTube

Peace out!

What is happening that shouldn't, or what isn't happening that should?

3

I'm not getting the motor to start att all...

I'ts supposed to start and stop in intervalls.

4

Have you contacted Sparkfun?

5

No...

I thought that I perhaps had connected the circuit wrong or something.

Shouldn't I be able to test if the DC-motor is funktional by connecting it directly in to the Arduino?

Doing this by inserting the pins from the DC-motor to the 5V & Gnd?
