TB6612FNG motor driver code

Using Arduino Programming Questions
1

i have an arduino uno connected to a TB6612FNG motor driver trying to turn a 12V motor but it ain't happening this is the code im using just to see if it works is there something obvious missing because im not the best with code. it has a standby pin which must be set to high in order for the motor to turn if that part is confusing. did i do anything wrong here

const int pwm = 5;
const int in1 = 3;
const int in2 = 4;
const int stanby = 6;

void setup() {
  pinMode(pwm, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(in1, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(in2, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(standby, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
  digitalWrite(in1, HIGH);
  digitalWrite(in2, LOW);
  analogWrite(pwm, 255);
}

oh yeah i tried that also but didn't work, although because i only have 1 motor i went through and took all the second motor out so i wasn't sure maybe i did something wrong there. i tried this way so i wasn't using their library but just a normal one but also didn't work.

const int pwm = 5;

const int in1 = 3;
const int in2 = 4;
const int stanby = 6;

void setup() {
  pinMode(pwm, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(in1, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(in2, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(standby, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
  digitalWrite(in1, HIGH);
  digitalWrite(in2, LOW);
  analogWrite(pwm, 255);
}

if your code you did not set 'stanby' HIGH, ie digitalWrite(stanby, HIGH); , to enable the motor outputs.

Hope that helps....

oh thanks yes i had that in but accidentally deleted it when i cleaned the code up a bit to post it on here, but i had no luck with it, i think the motor driver might not be any good perhaps i damaged it without knowing.
