Working through worksheets 3 & 4 from the GPIO Zero folder.
The wheels aren't turning correctly based on code commands.

forward() and left() commands:

  • only left wheel spins

backwards() and right() commands:

  • both wheels spin (left and right)

They seem to spin correctly using the RPIO folder code, but then continue running without stopping.

Wondering if there's an issue with the software or OS version compatibility?

Sorry for the long delay - Pi Wars and EMF have kept us very busy.

Are you still experiencing this issue? It sounds quite odd.

Looking at the photo, everything looks like it has been correctly set up. We have not had previous reports about the 4B being a problem.

Which version of GPIOZero are you using? YOu can find this by following the instructions here: https://gpiozero.readthedocs.io/en/stable/faq.html#how-can-i-tell-what-version-of-gpiozero-i-have-installed
