more painting plus breadboarding: painting was fine, easy, peaceful. Breadboarding??? I have pretty good troubleshooting skills, but also my stuff doesn’t work half the time due to faulty parts, or wiring, or.. code, etc. I started with a stepper motor that hadn’t been through the depths, and a corresponding driver. Tried one set of code, no input from the pot was working, swapped out the pot for one I know works from using it in a separate project. No luck, stepper motor I know works because it was moving during the first test. Just didn’t change speed. Stepper driver also works I’m pretty sure because it did light up as the motor moved. 2 things down. Swapped the board since most of mine are off brand and a little suspicious. Used a board I know works from a previous project that also used pot analog input. Swapped code for a move with pot (location) code, checked libraries, updated no issues. Swapped the breadboard, honestly still don’t trust the one I grabbed. Though it looks… okay. I will also check the rails (no corrosion!) could be a wire issue. I need to grab my multimeter… but um… the probes on that are also broken. Or well one is. I feel like I’m playing murder investigator and I’m personally not a fan. 😮‍💨 I also set up serial monitor and tried a couple things and I just simply get 14. Okay. 14. Okay.
