Good Day PI'ers
I have a pico running MicroPython v1.23 with L298N and 2 motors https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CG1C7T8J
One of the motor controllers works great (forward and backward).
The other works (but it moves the wheel backward and backward)![:D]( "Very Happy")
I am not even trying PWM yet. Just testing forward and back.
I am powering the pico with a 5V USB cable.
I am externally powering the L298N with a separate 5V USB cable (and using the 12 V terminal and not the 5V terminal - I believe I need to do that to power both chip and motors). (per https://randomnerdtutorials.com/raspber ... cropython/)
I have left both enable jumpers on.
Some pics I hope help:
Anything obvious here? Shall I post more information?
