2.5 Amp Motor Controller.... Help!

I wired up the controller per DJ's instructions. It's getting power. The little light is on but nothing happens.

Any ideas? Troubleshooting techniques?

Hahaha... yes we already established that. I just finished doing that and testing it.

Woo hoo............ After fixing the solder on the one blue thingy... I have movement.

Sweat!

@kkeast, the board she has is a clone of the 4-Wire Hbridge, which ARC has a Movement Panel for drive motors anyway.

@Kevin - I just saw the script thing. I will have to figure that out. DJ has made it pretty simple and I think I'll be able to do it. :o) We will see.

I bought my board from here so I followed those instructions...

I just drove him around. He's a bit top heavy but I just finished the final wiring.

Still need to work on his hands, the ones he has are really too heavy.

Will have to work on a little video tomorrow so everyone can see him.

And now thanks to everyone's help, he wont embarrass himself when he visits DJ's booth at Maker Faire.

You will not a move script...which is nice...since you got the board from DJ can't wait to see your video!
