Hi
I have made the "basic rov control system" with joystick and the relays are clicking when i move the joystick but there isn’t any power to thrusters. What are I’m doing wrong? Any help is appreciated.
Regards steel

Re: help plz, no power to motors
Did I buy wrong relay? Should be 2 NO and 2 NC
If i wire the motor to pin 1 and 2 or 5 and 6 with no joystick movement nothing happens. But when using joystick the motor is running.

Re: help plz, no power to motors
I think you're reading the relay right.
Here's a link for the Seafox wiring. The COM, NC and NO are different on these relays, but you should be able adapt it to your relay.

(edit - Just to be clear you need two relays per motor to control forward and reverse.)
