please email [email protected] - we would need to send a motor to europe no matter what, so we'd like to send it directly to you.

thanks,

In the youtube video it it looks as if he has the same problem i had with my breadboard(which you guys replaced promptly, per your usual great support) where one of the power buses on the side has a disconnect on it somewhere, i'll attach the photo of what i showed on mine, he seems to have a similar problem, probably in a slightly different spot, but same idea

he seems to have almost identical issue,(acutally about the same place, though not sure if his is on the ground or vcc side of it). If you watch his video and skip to about 1min 50 seconds you'll see what i mean

if your breadboard has a break in it, email support@adafruit for a replacement

Hi guys,

Sorry for my silence, I had no time to check the replacement DC motor and breadboard nicely and quickly sent by Adafruit until tonight. I confirm mitpatterson's diagnosis about my original breadboard : there's a break somewhere. But the replacement one works perfect (I just checked every bus of the board ! :) ) and the DC motor works perfect as well, so... I'm happy. :mrgreen:

Bye,
Yann
