This seems like it would be a no brainer but I am having issues with it... I have soldered the red/blue lead from the wiimote motor to the M+ and M- on the GC+2 respectively. I hooked MP to 3.3v and also another test at 5v... I tried LRA jumper open and closed. Nothing has yielded a rumbling motor. I am testing in the button tester by holding A + B...

Any help would be gratefully appreciated. :)

Thanks!

The most basic test would be to hook up your multimeter in DC volt mode to m+ and m- and actuate the rumble in the controller test app

Thanks @Gman , I just tried that test you recommended and the meter does not show any voltage when A+B are pressed in the controller test program in RVLoader. I also tested to make sure the motor rumbles when touched to 5v and ground; it does... I am not sure what else I can test... Here are some closeups...

Everything else about the GC+2 seems to be working as expected...

Potentially a software thing?? I hunted around in RVLoader for anything else that might pertain to motors but could not find anything. Maybe @Aurelio has a hint?

Thanks y'all.
