Worked it out by PWMing the enable pin. Thanks!

Having no luck after a few hours trying to move the left motor. I have a left and right motor; right_motor_en = machine.Pin('X1', machine.Pin.OUT) right_motor_a = machine.Pin('X2', machine.Pin.OUT) right_motor_b = machine.Pin('X3', machine.Pin.OUT) right_pwm_timer = pyb.Timer(2, freq=1000) right_pwm...

I'm adding a second motor to the code, do I need to to also add another Timer.PWM for the second motor or can both motors use the same timer channel?

Thank you for the help. I'm reading the output from the encoder. Had to switch to this because it's quadrature and the sensor is already 3.3v . It fits into the cheap plastic robot gear boxes with some shortening of the motor drive shaft. https://www.ebay.com/itm/130-Motor-DC6V-12V-7800RPM-Metal-Spe...

Thanks for this info I appreciate this. Looks like it is a quadrature encoder. I looked at each side of the encoder and I only see one sensor on each side.

I have been googling most of the day attempting to understand the IR encoder and disk with pyboard https://images.app.goo.gl/aTNkSUFWzMHfjQeR8 The red wire + on the encoder is connected to a 5v power source and black wire - to ground. The disk is freely spinning between the encoder sensors. output1 ...

Yes sir, all good.

This is the motor controller board;

Thanks for the instructions Jimmo, the motor is turning!

Thanks for the info. getting going in the right direction. Here is the board I'm using with the L298N. https://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/pyboard/quickref.html Being powered with a 9.9V 1500mAh battery, I guess is should be fine to turn the 6V motors. Good to know about the inefficient controlle...

Hello, I'm new to python and brand new to micro python. Working on a project with the L298N motor controller board, Pyboard V1.1 and a single 6v 71mA - 470mA 1.92Kgcm tourque DC motor. I have spent the last few hours trying to make the motor turn. This motor controller has three pins to control moto...
