Controlling dc/hobby motors with joystick module on Arduino uno.

Other Hardware Motors, Mechanics, Power and CNC

Would anyone have any source code/schematics for controlling 2 motors with a joystick module?

2

What sort of motors?

How do you want the joystick to control them?

What is the project you want to create?

...R

Google has loads of examples but you'll have to tell it what you're actually trying to make not just list a few components.

Is this a school/college/university project?

Can you tell us your electronics, programming, arduino, hardware experience?

Thanks.. Tom... :slight_smile:

"create a rover-type robot where the joystick module controls the direction the motors spin/control the way the wheels spin. "

Be advised that controlling a robot with a single joystick might be problematic depending on what you are expecting. The forum has a search function that you can use to search for previous such discussions, of which there are many.

Hi. Thanks for the help.
Im trying to use two hobby/dc motors I've found to create a rover-type robot where the joystick module controls the direction the motors spin/control the way the wheels spin. I have a little bit of experience with programming and Arduino too.

Hope this helps more...
Thanks,
Adam
