Hello goober,
Have you read Read Before You Post: General Advice for Getting Help, which is the post that sticks at the top of this forum? I’m asking because you could have simplified your code a lot more by taking out all the 11 lines relating to the LCD and the encoders (or if your motor problems are caused by those lines, then you can’t take them out but it would be important information to report).
Your current code is trying to run the motors at less than half speed. You should try running them at full speed, using this code:
set_motors(255, 255);You should also try connecting the leads of your battery pack directly to the leads of the motor; this should produce the same result on your motor as running the code above.
Let us know the results of those two experiments.
Also, what kind of motor do you have? How much current do you expect it to draw?
