DCMOTOR test not working for Megapi or mbot Ranger

Other Hardware Motors, Mechanics, Power and CNC

I have two mbot kits (ranger and the claw one that comes with a megapi) I was going to use to test automation routines.

I was going to use Arduino to have students program and test their code on the robot. Issue is i cannot get either board to successfully run the test program provided in the library and get the DCmotors moving.

All the sensors return appropriate data when i use those test examples, so I can connect and push code to both boards. I can get the motors to run when using the "joystick" on the app, so its not bad motor, power, or wiring issue.

Since both boards are acting like this, i assume I'm missing something rather obvious. Any ideas?

Don't expect all helpers to know what it is. For the time being You might cut out helpers.

Many helpers can't either. Please provide documentation according to this link: How to get the best out of this forum - Using Arduino / IDE 1.x - Arduino Forum

Post an annotated schematic showing exactly how you have wired it. Be sure to show all connections, power, ground and power sources. Post links to technical information on the hardware devices.

Would you post those sketches here? I can't find any code...
