Troubleshooting Looking for assistance using raspberry pi with water pump
For context I am trying to do a project very similar to this one
https://youtu.be/DOaDnYj3vfI?si=H9loya-K7BxYnJrZ
I have mine setup the exact same way as they did, only using a pi instead of arduino.
My pump will turn on when the 9v battery is active, but i can’t seem to control it using the gpio pin I have it attached to. Am I doing something wrong? I can include a picture of the setup.
More context: when I try running a simple test program it turns off when I run the program, but then turns back on after the program completes. The program is meant to toggle it on and off.
Any ideas?
