Hello,
I got the motor running. I had to plug in power via 12vDC battery, have an Internet connection, and have the BBG to USB plugged into the computer.
The example code for the DC Motor on seeedstudio.com/wiki/Motor_Bridge_Cape_v1.0 works. I just need to tweak it to suit my needs.
Thank you everyone. You have been very supportive through my confused state on this issue.
Seth
P.S. If anyone needs to know what to do, please just ask me. I have only run one motor thus far. I will check more motors in the future.
