Hello Guys,
I ran into an issue where, for no apparent reason, the motor stopped running. When I checked the 6-volt supply across it, it measured about 0.5 volts DC. After lifting the positive motor power wire, the supply was restored. My next step was to use my bench supply, and the motor worked perfectly. The screenshot shows that section of the motor and power, with a 2200 μF and a 470 μF electrolytic capacitor—both brand new—and the motor power switch has been cleaned.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated !
Sincerely Richard
