Motor controller not giving power out

I bought the motor controller DRI001.
The tutorial explains how to power an Arduino using the 5v output.

I have powered the motor controller with a 7V LiPo battery, the indicator light turns on.
The voltmeter correctly reports ~7V near the green bridge (motor1,2, vcc and GND) but reports nothing on the +5V/GND output.

Can someone please tell me what the light is about and how I can be absolute sure that the controller is not defective.

Thanks

Many thanks for your reply.

Reading the spec I really thought that pin was a 5V out.

Thanks

These pins supposed to connect to MCU. They are not 5V output. You should connect your MCU power and control pins to it. Please see the diagram below.
