    Yes exactly that's happening. As the green line of the potentiometer intersects the blue line. The motor changes its direction. This means I'm going in the right direction?

    Yes, when you install the potentiometer that is moved by the motor in that case it would stop.

    The power supply or battery should connect to the IBT2 +- on the green connector. The motor also connects to the MM on the green connector on the IBT-2. The IBT2 will control the motor. DMAX

    I have attached foot rest to the upper frame so that the user feet should not touch the ground.
    Hoping to get a more realistic experience

    I have defined mode 2 in arduino and set com port to 4 as of arduino adn it is also showing in smc3. But why the motors are showing turn off status. I clicked on it but they are not turning on. I also have rechecked the circuit diagram
