Hello-
I have a question regarding my current project. I created a circuit on a breadboard that includes a MCU (ATMega328p), H-bridge (L293D), bluetooth module (HC-05), and two motors. I created a phone application to control the strength and duration that the motors run. This is where my issue comes into play. On the regular breadboard everything works fine, when I click a command on the phone application the motors run like they should. I am in the stage of my project where I am transferring the circuit to a smaller perf board by soldering components onto the board. At times I encounter issues with the motors functioning like they should. For example, on my phone I give the command to run the motors for 2 minutes on low strength. Sometimes the motors will process the command right away without any issues but at other times I have to send the command out a few times before the circuit processes the command and runs the motors. My guess is that my soldering skills are not good yet so there is potential interference between certain components and wires that are causing this issue. I have provided a picture below so you can see the perf board I am referring to. Please let me know if you know why I am encountering this problems and if there is anything I can do to fix it.
Thanks!
