What you need
- Arduino Uno
- USB Cable
- 3-6V Battery
- Motors driver (check the datasheet)
- Connectors
Steps
- Check the battery voltage and ensure it is between 3V and 6V.
- Connect the motor driver to the Arduino control pin.
- Connect the gear motor to the driver terminals.
- Load the example sketch provided to control the motor direction and speed.
- Upload the sketch to the Arduino using the USB cable.
- Verify that the motor rotates in the correct direction.
- Adjust the motor speed by modifying the values in the sketch.
- Test interaction with other sensors to complete the project.
Example code
void setup() {
pinMode(motorPin, OUTPUT);
}
void loop() {
digitalWrite(motorPin, HIGH);
delay(1000);
digitalWrite(motorPin, LOW);
delay(1000);
}
Mini project
Create a simple rover that moves forward and backward in response to commands.
Common mistakes
