Making a Test Circuit to Check Your DC Motor - Troubleshooting Scrubberbot Prototype

0:00
So another case for your LED lighting up, but your motor not spinning
0:11
in a rare case, maybe your motor is not a good motor or something
0:19
That's pretty rare. Or it might be you have something else incorrectly hook up in your circuit
0:28
And what you could do is you could hook up. hook up a simple, a separate simple circuit then from the scrubber bot circuit that we were making
0:39
just to test the motor itself. So the simple circuit would be as if we didn't have the motor
0:47
on here and we were to hook up a simple circuit like this where we have the power supply here
0:54
the pin coming from the positive power supply to the center. pin of the slide switch and your resistor LED and a diode and then we just take the motor to check the motor if we wanted to and we place one wire in parallel with this diode here and then the other wire to ground like so and if you want it
1:32
You could check, make a simple circuit like this to check a motor, and we can see this
1:38
motor is spinning fine and it's working fine. So if your circuit from your scrubber bot wasn't working right or your motor wasn't turning
1:49
on when you turn the switch, but your LED was and your motor is not spinning or neither one
1:55
of them are spinning, you might have incorrectly hooked up some component in the
2:02
circuit or you don't have a jumper wire hooked correctly in your circuit or
2:06
something like that so you'd need to refer back to the schematic or back to
2:12
the steps of the scrubber bot project
