What you need

• 25GA370 DC Gear Motors
• Arduino
• 10kΩ Resistor
• 12V Power Supply Cable

Steps

1. 1. Connect the 12V power supply cable to the gear motor.
2. 2. Attach the gear motor to the Arduino using digital pins.
3. 3. Connect the 10kΩ resistor between the GND and VCC pins of the gear motor.
4. 4. Load the following code onto the Arduino:
5. 5. `void setup() {}`
6. 6. `void loop() {`
7. 7. ` analogWrite(3, 255); // Adjust the speed of the gear motor.`
8. 8. ` delay(2000);`
9. 9. ` analogWrite(3, 0);`
10. 10. ` delay(2000);`
11. 11. `}`
12. 12. Try adjusting the speed with `analogWrite(3, value);`.

Example code

void loop() { analogWrite(3, 255); delay(2000); analogWrite(3, 0); delay(2000); }
