Just Received My Rover 5 &Amp; Etc., But.

When I connected the Rover 5 to the board, the tracks continuously went in one direction. I tried controlling them in the ARC control setup, but they still continued to move in the same direction without any change. I have the two servos jumped to the EZ-board. Black to ground & red to 5v....am I doing something wrong?

The Rover 5 should be equipped with DC motors, not servos... in order to control them from the EZ-B you require an H-Bridge motor controller like the one in the store: 2.5 Amp Motor Controller

Yea disconnect that from ez b , it draws 4 times what ez boards made to put out. Gunner is right. You need a l298n h bridge motor driver. A. Bridge allows motors to go forward or backwards and takes the load off your ezb microcontroller.
