    This is my project.

    I have 2 Bosch WhiperMotors
    2 IBT 2
    1 Arduino uno

    But now a big new problem.
    I have destroyed both ibt2 and the arduino becaus i have made a big fail :/
    The new parts comes tomorrow.

    But bevor this is hapend:

    I have managed that at least the motor 1 moves in both directions :)
    For the first time that the motor moves as it should be in the smc3 as a motion juhuuuuu :) :) :)


    But unfortunately not in the area I would like so the path was much too small. I've changed the limits and nothing has changed. After that I pretended wildly and then nothing worked anymore.


    The second motor didn't do anything yet. I then swapped the two ibt2s and it still didn't work. so one of the two is apparently already broken.
    The second one that actually went got a short circuit because of me and since then it doesn't work either :(: /
    and this was the moment when the arduino was died...



    Luckily amazon delivers very quickly :)

    The PC Powersuply is only for the cooling vents and my wind simulator.

    Thank you for your hint!!!
    As you can see in the picture, 3 cables come from my motor.
    One ground one plus and one more.
    I just cut the gnd off (it was on the motor housing).
    So was that wrong? Is this where my fault lies?

    Unfortunately I don't understand the drawing as it is meant :(

    why does the + and - cable go from the power supply to the black cable on the motor?
    and so i have to go to the housing with the + and what happens if there is electricity?
    and if none of them flow? How does it have to be?

    Edit:

    the way I understand it.
    Some wiper motors have the housing grounded, which is a problem when attached to a metal frame. If the motors run in opposite directions, your power supply will be shorted out. Which in turn destroys the motor h bridge


    So I understand it that if I hang my continuity tester on one of the poles and then go to the housing, there should be no continuity.
    That's the way it is.
    if I of course use the brown mass cable then of course it is already like that.

    Does that fit now? I don't know
