Two textbooks and 5 youtube videos and you were the only one who specified the direction of the stinkin diode. Thank you! Was going out of my mind! Larry,

I had procesing open in sted of arduino :Þ sry again ... thanks r. hahahaha. sorry for the haisty comment. I had procesing open in sted of arduino :Þ

sry again …
thanks

I get this error
“cant find anything named output”

im new to all of this so I hope im not being stupid about this..

thanks.

Such as making two of the Arduino boards shown above and connecting it to a interface to time them speeds and distances.

But I just set it up and it worked fine with a simple switch :) thanks a lot for your info Actually I guess this wouldn’t work so well on a robot who you aren’t interacting with!!

Basically switch which way round the wires are connected.. Surely to make it go CW or CCW, you could add a DPDT switch between the wires that go “to motor” and the wires from the motor?
