So i set up my pi 4b, with my monitor and I connected it to a PCA9685 . I have 6motors but wanted to test only of them and i couldn’t figure it out. I have a 5V adapter for the pi and a 12v 5A adapter for the PCA9685 that will attach all of my motors. The max stall current on my motors is 2.3 A at 7.4 V. Ive also thoroughly checked all my connections as well as confirm that I2C connection was being read by my pi. Does anyone know what else i could do?

You have provided a lot of information, but what is missing is the specific problem. At least I don't understand what exactly the problem is.

Gotcha. My problem is that the motor isnt working or spinning at all

It’s not responding to the code

my power light on the pi and everything lights up so i assume that portion is good

Just trying to see why the motor isnt powering, idk if its not getting enough power or idk <@1187039958561726494>

How did you start the project if you didn't follow any instructions? You say the motor doesn't respond to the code, what kind of code are you using? And how exactly is it all connected, you can't really see it in the photos. And we don't know what the components are either. So we can't help you.
