Re: Motor only turns one way!

Can you provide us with some more information? Are you using a spike, victor or jaguar to control the motor? If a Jaguar, check that both limit switch jumpers are in place - missing one of them would prevent you from turning in one direction.

Look at the LED on the spike/victor/jaguar and tell us what you see - what does it do when you turn the arm one direction, and what does it do when you try to turn it the other?
