| - | Motor module | + | Motor board is connected with Controller module to the port PE-PB-PD. The power supply to the motors comes from the DCIN connector on the board and runs through voltage regulator, which brings the voltage down to +5V. If DC power is provided to the board and the voltage regulator is working properly, the PWR LED in the bottom right corner of the board will light up. |
