i have looked all over the internet to try and find a tutorial to control a dc motor, but none of them work.
Can you show one of the links you would like to use, and what you saw as the problem?
Oops... same subject.
You never resolved that issue... or replied.
Hey @sansthedavid - I keep answering your requests for information or assistance, and you never reply - to ANYONE who tries to help. Is your "red LED" issue resolved? Is your 9v battery issue resolved? Is your USB connection issue resolved? Did you ever try the code to "print" from a push button? Did you finally put header pins on your Arduino? Did you get a solder iron, or is your new LCD still not usable? Did your pushbutton magically become a PS3 game controller? Did your motor burn up your Arduino? Is that why "none of them work?" You are becoming have become a waste of time. Why should anyone help you? You do not try or listen.
Yes I can understand why you did not find anything. There are probably over a million different DC motor configurations with such things as size, voltage, current, RPM ..etc. The first thing you need to do is determine what type of motor you are looking as they are not all controlled the same. Good Luck!
I'd suggest you start here, then give details of your specific hardware, with links to data sheets, and a schematic.
i am very sorry, i was out for a while, please dont get the wrong feeling
