I’ve had fun with the SIK FOR ARDUINO UNO - V4.0 so far, but any project with the geared motors, LCD screen and buzzer fail to work. Both the LCD screen and the geared motors were supposedly Quality Controll checked although the LCD screen packet was received opened and it seemed a bit disconcerting, especially when I found out it doesn’t work in any project I try it with. After numerous double checking the wiring of the board and going through the troubleshooting they still failed to work adequately. Everything else works fine, but these 4 things have been isolated to be the problem.
In relation to the geared motor issue, after the first geared motor didn’t work, I checked all of the connections to make sure they were in the right place and they were. I confirmed this by connecting the second geared motor and it seemed to work after going to the serial monitor and typing in a speed of 200. It did seem to be spinning really slow, but I figured it just must be a really slow moving motor. After trying reverse and a couple of different speed rates it started to slow down and then stopped. It hasn’t been able to work in the subsequent trials I’ve had after, so both the geared motors are definitely faulty. If there is some super simple way of isolating these components beside from the simple projects I’ve already tested them in I’ll be happy to try them again and upload pictures as proof of their faultiness.
