I am having the exact same problem as this forum post: Mbot Ranger Motors work in mblock but not Arduino IDE environment
For example, I take a small generated program in mBlock that turns on the ring LED for 1 second and then runs the motors for 5 seconds (see below).
It works perfectly fine if I compile and run with mBlock (that is, I copy the Arduino code it generates and then copy it to the mBlock Arduino tab and compile/upload).
But if I copy this to the Arduino IDE the lights work but not the motors.
Before you ask let me answer some questions:
-
Yes I am using the Github library from this link: https://github.com/Makeblock-official/Makeblock-Libraries
-
Yes the power is on. If I compile and upload with the mBlock program motors work perfect.
-
Yes the batteries are fine
