Dc motor control with L293d and Arduino Uno

[begginerineverything]

Hey. I wanna Control a DC motor over an Arduino with a L293d. I attached a picture of the Fritzing wiring. My question is first of all. Does this work? Second : Can i run it from a 9v Battery, Can something destroy like the Arduino? (they are connected over ground) I have most of the wiring from Youtube but they used a Powersupply and i dont have one.

How to get the best out of this forum

See also FAQ - Arduino Forum for general rules on forum behaviour and etiquette. Hello, Welcome to the Arduino Forum. This guide explains how to get the best out of this forum. Please read and follow the instructions below. Being new here you might think this is having rules for the sake of rules, but that is not the case. If you don’t follow the guidelines all that happens is there is a long exchange of posts while we try to get you to tell us what we need in order to help you, which is fru…

It will help you get the best out of the forum in the future.

• Your OS and version can be valuable information, please include it along with extra security you are using.

• Always list the version of the IDE you are using and the board version if applicable.

• Use quote or add error messages as an attachment NOT a picture.

• How to insert an image into your post. ( Thanks @sterretje )

• Add your sketch where applicable but please use CODE TAGS ( </> )

• Add a SCHEMATIC were needed even if it is hand drawn

• Add working links to any specific hardware as needed (NOT links to similar items)

• Remember that the people trying to help cannot see your problem so give as much information as you can

COMMON ISSUES

• Ensure you have FULLY inserted the USB cables.

• Check you have a COMMON GROUND where required. ( Thanks @Perry)

• Where possible use USB 2.0 ports or a USB 2.0 POWERED HUB to rule out USB 3.0 issues.

• Try other computers where possible.

• Try other USB leads where possible.

• You may not have the correct driver installed. CH340/341 or CP2102 or FT232 VCP Drivers - FTDI

• There may be a problem with the board check or remove your wiring first.

• Remove any items connected to pins 0 and 1.

COMPUTER RELATED

• Close any other serial programs before opening the IDE.

• Ensure you turn off any additional security / antivirus just to test.

• There may be a problem with the PC try RESTARTING it.

• You may be selecting the wrong COM port.

• Avoid cloud/network based installations where possible OR ensure your Network/Cloud software is RUNNING.

• Clear your browsers CACHE.

• Close the IDE before using any other serial programs.

• Preferably install IDE’s as ADMINISTRATOR or your OS equivalent

ARDUINO SPECIFIC BOARDS

• CH340/341 based clones do not report useful information to the “get board info” button.

• NANO (Old Types) some require you to use the OLD BOOTLOADER option.

• NANO (ALL Types) See the specific sections lower in the forum.

• NANO (NEW Types) Install your board CORE’s.

• Unless using EXTERNAL PROGRAMMERS please leave the IDE selection at default “AVRISP mkII”.

• Boards using a MICRO usb connector need a cable that is both DATA and CHARGE. Many are CHARGE ONLY.

CREATE editor install locations.

• On macOs ~/Applications/ArduinoCreateAgent-1.1/ArduinoCreateAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/config.ini

• On Linux ~/ArduinoCreateAgent-1.1/config.ini

• On Windows C:\Users[your user]\AppData\Roaming\ArduinoCreateAgent-1.1

Performing the above actions may help resolve your problem without further help.

Ok sorry im new here i thougt ive done it in the Electronics general Topic sorry

[slipstick]

It definitely won't work without code. And the code must match the actual components and wiring so having a picture of a joystick that you're not using connected in a way that's not what you intend isn't exactly helpful.

If your 9V battery looks like the one in your picture then it is not suitable for running a motor. Not enough power. And I can't see any power at all to the Arduino.

Yes i know that i have to code this! But im a lot better in Coding than in electronics. I know how to wire my Joystick that i bought it will be the same on the Arduino only the Joystick pins will change. Which battery would you recommend me? The Arduino will be powered over usb from a Powerbank or Computer

[begginerineverything]

I made a new One with correct button wiring!

On the L293, Vcc1 (pin 16) need a connection to the logic power supply (5V).

The L293 is feeble and wastes many volts - you'd be much better off with a MOSFET H-bridge,
but it should work so long as the power source is decent, a 9V small battery is not going to
cut it, although a NiMH rechargable version would probably just about handle one motor.

Motors need lots of current, you can't skimp on this.
