Driving A DC Motor With An Arduino [external source]

Are you interested in using small DC motors with your Arduino? I just posted a new article, Driving A DC Motor With An Arduino, on Woolsey Workshop.

This tutorial covers

  • Connecting a motor driver board and two motors to an Arduino Uno,
  • Constructing a distinct Motor class that interfaces with the motor driver board to provide various methods for controlling a motor,
  • Using the Motor class in a sketch to perform basic operations,
  • Enhancing the sketch by checking for any faults that may be occurring on the motor driver,
  • Showing how to ramp up and down a motor’s speed over a specific time frame, and
  • Demonstrating how to provide variable speed control using a potentiometer.

Where’s the tutorial?

Post it here, not on some linked site that gets clicks for you.

The link for the tutorial is in the first paragraph. Here it is again for reference.

The tutorial is a bit long to post completely in the forum.

Nice tutorial and step by step walkthrough.

I especially like that it is using a modern motor driver, instead of the L29x pieces of crap, and showing how to use the more advanced features. It is bookmarked and I will read it more carefully as I get time. Nice job and thanks.
