I apologize for lack of all details. Yes I tested all components. The arduino works and I didn't post the code because it's not my code for my robot and it's not a code problem. I just figured it was a detail to mention how I was testing my motors so people wouldn't wonder if I were using push buttons, pots, etc to control my motors. The next thing I was going to do was connect to an oscilloscope when I go back to school tomorrow. I may be wrong, but I thought the capacitor was for noise. Since I use equipment at school, I don't have 24 hr access so there are some things I have not checked yet and I don't work on it everyday. I was thinking maybe saturation was my problem.
Did you post your code with your original post ? Are we to assume that the code in your IDE is in fact the same code in the link ?
No one should assume anything about code because I didn't post any. I just gave a small description of what I was doing.
My motors are 12 VDC .09A 6.8RPM No load.
Just the description of the motors.
I suppose it would be silly to ask if you have any electronics experience.
If it even occurred to you to test it (not that it ever would mind you ) how would you go about it ?
I may not have a 4.0, but I do have a bit of experience and I don't appreciate your approach. I never used a forum before so I left out some things, but you came off very rude. I'm learning and independently trying to improve. I thought forums were friendly environments where people help each other and provided as an extra avenue of learning.
