This is with the diode facing the other direction

84

I’ll solder the pins onto the Arduino once my soldering skills improve

This is with the diode facing the other direction

These photo’s have diode in the wrong direction. With the flat side of the motor upwards looking at it’s back, the diode’s black ring should be on the left terminal. That is the positive terminal going to Vcc. The right terminal must go to the transistor’s collector.

You still have both motor leads in the same row ( #22 G and I) on the breadboar. That shorts them causing the current to bypass it. The motor will never run this way. Put the blue wire in 22F into 21F, and the adjacent motor lead (negative connection) in 22H into 21H. That should sort out the breadboard problem.

87

I made the adjustments but the solders on the motor keep falling off so I’m going buy a new one

this one should work right ? http://www.amazon.com/1100RPM-Magnet-Vi … tion+Motor

and this is the same diode as the one ive been using right? http://www.amazon.com/DIODE-1N4148-LOT- … 19GBYW0D2V

Yes, both are ok.

92

Does this one work? http://www.radioshack.com/product/index … Id=2914700

93

Yes, that one is 3 volt too. They don’t show many other specifications but I guess it won’t differ much from the other. This one will turn a bit faster.

94

That’s perfect

97

With adjustments made and new motor

Isn’t the orange wire Vcc? You have to turn the motor and diode around. The red wire of the motor (and the black ring of the diode) should go to the orange Vcc wire. The black wire of the motor should go to the blue wire you stuck in the bread board.
