I'm trying to use my new Picaxe 18x to drive 2 motors through the Pololu Micro Dual motor control. For some reason nothing happens and I hope somebody can help me shed some light on the problem. Here's what I did:
(NOTE: I have read the Picaxe and Pololu user manuals)
I have read the Picaxe and Pololu user manuals and it seemed to be quite easy to do -- but for some reason it doesn't work. Here's the code:
I've tried with and without the 'goto main' part and have verified both pins are outputting from the picaxe by using an LED.
I'm sure I'm making a noob mistake here, and would like it if somebody could point me in the right direction.
Thanks!

- I'm using the Picaxe 18x Standard Project board
- I removed the darlington so I could connect directly to the picaxe pins with jumpers.
- Connected picaxe pin 1 to the motor reset pin
- Connected picaxe pin 2 to the motor serial control input
I have read the Picaxe and Pololu user manuals and it seemed to be quite easy to do -- but for some reason it doesn't work. Here's the code:
Code:
symbol motor_reset_pin = 1
symbol motor_serial = 2
symbol motor_baud = T2400_4 ' also tried with T2400
main:
pause 500
high motor_reset_pin
pause 500
' Left motor (2) at full speed (127)
serout motor_serial, motor_baud, (0x80)
serout motor_serial, motor_baud, (0x00)
serout motor_serial, motor_baud, (5) ' 2 * 2 + 1
serout motor_serial, motor_baud, (127)
' Right motor (3) at full speed (127)
serout motor_serial, motor_baud, (0x80, 0x00, 7, 127) ' 2 * 3 + 1 = 7
goto mainI'm sure I'm making a noob mistake here, and would like it if somebody could point me in the right direction.
Thanks!
