Hello! Currently I have a motor hooked up to power and neg to LED 5. It’s an off nominal motor for a lightsaber and I have the “brightness” or speed turned all the way up but I’m needing more to actually spin the motor nicely all I’m getting right now is a buzz or whine but no movement. What options do I have, I’m able to achieve proper power when I have the neg to battery neg and pos to battery pos. Obviously that’s not feasible since it’s always on. I was thinking since it’s a two button setup I could config for one button and use the aux for motor on and off so it’s not on all the time but that’s less than desirable. Anyone have advice or suggestions? Motor specs below.
Different voltage corresponds to different speed, Voltage:DC 3V;Rated Speed:1500 RPM;Voltage:DC 4.5V;Rated Speed:2500 RPM;Voltage:DC 12V;Rated Speed:6500
If you post your config, we can take a look. Sounds like it should be working as you expect.
Do you have the correct Blade Definition for the motor? (including the correct LED listed for the bladePowerPin)
Do you have White for the color in the blade style? Or at least the color you chose in the blade definition?
Rgb values max at 255, so Rgb<300,0,0> isn’t a thing. Try Rgb<255,0,0>.
Other than that, things look correct.
If that doesn’t work, maybe try moving over to a different LED pad, as maybe the FET for 5 is wonky?
Okay I’ll try that and see!
