Hello,
I am new to arduino's and working with the " Keyestudio Mini Caterpillar Tank Robot V3.0 For Arduino Kit". I have run into a problem. When I have it only connected to the 2 3.7v batteries the robot does not work, only the lights on the motor driver board are on and the lights on the arduino uno are shinig very softly. when I also connect it with usb and turn the motor board on the robot fully works and when I connect it with usb and leave the motor board of the robot only works very slowly.
Can anyone help me?
These kits are made to work directly out of box. I suspect you did not follow the instructions.
Your power supply is insufficient. Fully charge the batteries.
Verify your wiring as your batteries charge.
Hi thank you for your assistance,
I fully charged the batteries and checked all the wiring before making this post. I suspect there is an issue with the power transport between the motor driver board and the arduino, I could however be completely wrong.
Show a picture of your motor driver, or give the list of devices in your kit. Not all motor drivers are the same.
I THINK the motor driver, operating from the batteries has a 5V output that is supposed to power the arduino.
Maybe a wire is missing???

Did you try switching this to "ON"?
