DC-DC boost converter NOT Working
nickosinski 2016-12-01 09:38:30 2431 Views4 Replies Hello,
Sorry if this is not the right forum in which to post about this product.
I seem to be having the same problem as the person who posted on the product page. I've connected the converter to 12v, but turning the nob does nothing to the output voltage. Is it defective or am I missing something?
Thank you!

WOW, a really tough robot! I like it.
Perhaps this module is not powerful enough for your robot. How about try to leave "Vout" unconnected and do the following test again?
This is detailed progress:
1. Connect the battery 12V to "Vin" on the board
2. Connect the battery GND to "GND" on the board
3. Leave "Vout" unconnected on the board
4. Screw the potentiometer to the most anti-clockwise.
5. Use the voltage meter to detect between "Vin" and "GND" on the board.
6. The output should be about 34V
if the output can reach 34V, you would better looking for a more powerful power booster.
If the output cannot rise, please contact ourmake_clickable_callback(MAGIC_URL_EMAIL, ' ',make_clickable_callback(MAGIC_URL_EMAIL, ' ', ''[email protected]', '', '')', '', '') for a replacement:
Please kindly provide:
1. Take a clear picture of the result of the progress above.
2. Provide your order ID.
PS: As shown on our product page:
1.This board does not have reverse polarity protection, so please be sure to recognize the polarity of your connections!
2. The input voltage must be less than output voltage, otherwise, it may damage the board. Angelo.Qiao

Angelo.Qiao 2016-12-02 04:43:04 I do a video episodes of my robot build, so I had this video clip ready:
('https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gWOj4SuNdU', ('YouTube Video Clip of Test Here') ? 'YouTube Video Clip of Test Here' : '')
As you can see, I try turning in both directions, but the voltage output is always EXACTLY the same as the INPUT voltage ~12.3 volts from a 12v regulated battery source. Thank you for your help,

nickosinski 2016-12-02 04:23:38 I'm trying to go from 12v to 24v, so I understand that it should handle that no problem.
I have tried turning in both direction - there is absolutely no change in either direction. I can provide a video if you'd like.
Please advise what I should do next. Thank you,

How much voltage would you like to boast up to?
This is an multiturn potentiometer. How about try to screw it anti-clockwisely to the end? In this case the output voltage would rise to about 34V
Hope it will help you. Angelo.Qiao
