Tutorial: How to Use DC Micro Motor 370 6V Air Pump

The DC Micro Motor 370 6V is ideal for low flow pumps and blood pressure monitoring applications. This component is perfect for DIY projects such as portable sensors or medical devices.

What you need

• Arduino Uno
• Breadboard
• Current limiting resistor
• JST cable
• Pressure sensors

Steps

1. Install the DC 370 micro motor on a breadboard.
2. Connect the current limiting resistor between the Arduino and the motor to protect it from current overloads.
3. Use JST cables to connect the motor to the Arduino, ensuring that the polarities are correct (check the datasheet).
4. Connect a pressure sensor to the circuit to measure the pressure during pump operation.
5. Write an Arduino sketch to read data from the sensor and control the motor based on pressure conditions.
6. Verify that the motor functions correctly without stalling or voltage drops.
7. Calibrate the blood pressure monitoring system to obtain accurate data.
8. Test the project under various conditions and record the results.

Example code

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop() {
  int pressureValue = analogRead(A0); // Legge la pressione dal sensore
  if (pressureValue > valore_di_soglia) { 
    digitalWrite(motorePin, HIGH); // Accende il motore se la pressione è troppo alta
  } else {
    digitalWrite(motorePin, LOW); // Spegne il motore se la pressione è adeguata
  }
}
