i have a project that involve DC motors and wheels but when the wheels are supposed to turn i have to spin them a little to get them to start turning. but they make the noise like they are trying to work. i dont know whats wrong with them.
this motor is the one im using
Are you giving it enough voltage and current?
no idea, im using the arduino uno board my teacher gave me. im just following the instructions
Do you need the motor to go forwards and backwards or just one way?
i need it to go both ways
@ausalmon
Then you need a motor driver like the DRV8838
Very cheap and simple to use
Use 4 AA batteries or a 5V supply to power the motor.
Do NOT use the arduino 5V output
Post your instructions and we will see if they are correct
How are you powering the motor?
