Hello Stefan,
It sounds like you've set up your Arduino and motor correctly, but there might be a few things to check or adjust to get your motor running. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can follow:
- Power Supply: Ensure that the battery connected to the Nano Carrier is fully charged and capable of supplying enough current for the motor. Sometimes, a low battery might not provide sufficient power to drive the motor.
- Connections: Double-check all the connections between the motor, Nano Carrier, and Arduino Nano. Make sure the motor is properly connected to the correct pins on the carrier (M1 in your case).
- Motor Carrier Initialization: Verify that the motor carrier is correctly initialized. Sometimes reinitializing the carrier and motor objects can help:
a = arduino;
carrier = motorCarrier(a);
dcm = dcmotor(carrier, 'M1');
4. Speed Setting: Ensure that you're setting the speed after starting the motor. You can also try setting the speed before starting the motor:
dcm.Speed = 0.5;
start(dcm);
5.Motor Driver: Check if the motor driver on the Nano Carrier is functioning properly. You might want to try controlling another motor or using a different motor port (e.g., M2) to see if the issue persists.
Hope it helps.
