Also, in your sketch, try turning the LED on immediately after or before turning on the motors - there may be a delay for some reason you're not expecting. | |
| Mar 8, 2015 at 23:01 | comment | added | user3378649 | i've just run to try what you have said. I used 9v battery for arduino and ten (10)*1.2v batteries in serie to make a battery of 12v. WHat I ve noticed is that the motors are taking some time before they move (say 5-10 seconds). I don't use sleep() in my program. What I have made is a one command (to debug the problems) to make the both motors moving at 255. Is there any raison behind that ?? One more thing, the motors are moving slower than they supposed to do ? 12v is good voltage to make them run fast. | |
