What you need
- 25GA370 DC Gear Motors
- Arduino
- 10kΩ Resistor
- 12V Power Supply Cable
Steps
- 1. Connect the 12V power supply cable to the gear motor.
- 2. Attach the gear motor to the Arduino using digital pins.
- 3. Connect the 10kΩ resistor between the GND and VCC pins of the gear motor.
- 4. Load the following code onto the Arduino:
- 5. `void setup() {}`
- 6. `void loop() {`
- 7. ` analogWrite(3, 255); // Adjust the speed of the gear motor.`
- 8. ` delay(2000);`
- 9. ` analogWrite(3, 0);`
- 10. ` delay(2000);`
- 11. `}`
- 12. Try adjusting the speed with `analogWrite(3, value);`.
Example code
void loop() { analogWrite(3, 255); delay(2000); analogWrite(3, 0); delay(2000); }
Mini project
