Lynxmotion motor power supply

What kind of power supply does Lynxmotion rover motor use? Because I use 12 v battery to power the motors, the rover can only go forward and backward but couldn’t turn right or left.

Thank you

Hello @wei

Which exactly Lynxmotion Rover are you using?

To turn right, you just need to turn off the right motor and go forward with the left motor. For left, same but opposite. Turn off left motor and for forward with right one.

I hope this is what you are asking for?

Hello @wei !

To turn the robot you could have two options:

  • Stop one motor and make the other one turn forward or backward
  • Make both turn in opposite direction.

I’ll leave you this tutorial that shows how to control a motor. Here you could see how PWM works and how can you work with it to turn properly.

I hope this help you! :grin:
