Post #9 - Hooking up the motors

This week was entirely spent trying to get a motor moving. We had to contact an outside source (Dr. Ron Tuttle from UNK) to give us some advice since Taylor and I have zero prior experience with electronics.

After meeting with him, we started plugging stuff in. Our current state with the robot is that our power source has power (good), the motor driver that controls the motor has a green light (good), however when we try sending power to the actual motor, the driver flashes red (bad). We are debugging and meeting with Dr. Tuttle again next week.

Total Time: 6 hours
