I have built the circuit and executed the program but the motor does not rotate. I suspect either the motor may be defective.

 ![motor_ckt](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/sunfounder/original/2X/8/8bbda32560ae1bce5712090dec5fb0dc4b94ede0.jpeg)

Is there any way to test the motor or the power module?

Resolved! The batteries that were used were too weak, connected a 12v power supply and the project works. Sorry for the confusion.
