hi, i am working on a project which has the output of DC motor. This dc motor is control by L293D chip in proteus. My input is two LDR sensor which is connected to arduino uno. Arduino is used to compare the voltage differences between both of the sensor. if there is a difference of voltage between both sensor, it will send HIGH signal to L293D input to rotate the motor. but now im facing a problem where my dc motor could not rotate in either direction. i have try many ways, but nothing happen to the motor. for the coding, the simulation in proteus show it follows the coding flow. but still the dc motor could not rotate. I hope you guys can help me. thanks....
