Re: My motors wont work You have not provided anywhere near enough information for anyone to be able to help you.
Exactly how is your robot wired? For example, which port on the NXT is wired to your motor controller? Are you positive that you have the power wires to and from the motor and servo controllers attached correctly? What version of RobotC do you have? Post your code! _________________ Jeff McBride Benson Robotics Club |

Re: My motors wont work I'm sorry but you need to answer the questions fully if you want to get any kind of meaningful answers.

Re: My motors wont work
Our forum psychics are currently on sabbatical, so unfortunately, you will have to try a little harder to explain what you have done, what code you have written to test the motors and any other details you think will help us determining the root cause of the problem. Otherwise you will get inane questions like: did you put batteries in your NXT brick?

Re: My motors wont work Is your NXt turned on? Did you select the right program on the menu to make it run? Does your NXT have batteries? Are the motors connected? Are your motors connected in the correct places? Did you specify the motors in your code? Did you go under robot->motors and sensors in robot c and select motor ports and names? Please post the code you have. Trying to help you will be like trying to find a needle in a metal pin stack if you do not specify.

Re: My motors wont work I get the feeling that the OP has fixed the problem but neglected to let us know.
