I have a problem with one of my props, Boris the Butler from ASDA originally.
I wired up two other props and they word fine, however when I wire up the butler he starts immediately to stutter and won't stop. I have tested his circuit by
switching one of the other props onto it, and putting him on one of their circuits. I've tested I have the polarity correct, he has the same voltage and current as
the others, the transistor is working (as tested on the other props). If I short his wires together then he works. I even tried removing the transistor and
connecting him directly to the Arduino, but the same thing every time.
The odd thing is that even if I rapidly short his wires or hold them together I cannot get him to stutter; connect him to the circuit and he starts immediately.
I am pulling my heair out with this one. Any suggestions?
