I am wanting to gift the hardware required for project Controlling a DC Motor with Motor Shield Rev3. Unfortunately, I know next to nothing about Arduino.
Under Hardware & Software Needed, it says I'll need an Arduino UNO (got it) and Arduino Motor Shield Rev3 (got it). It also says that I will need a DC motor (6-12V) and a Power source.
Could someone provide links to the specific DC motor and Power Source I need to buy. I'd buying all this in US.
Thanks!
@LarryD Thank you. The tutorial states that 2 batteries should be used. Should I buy a holder for 2 batteries (like this) or the 8 battery holder you linked to will be fine?
8 AA alkaline batteries.
8 X 1.5V = 12 Volts
This matches the 12V motor linked above.
One 8 AA battery holder is all that’s needed for this motor.
You could use 6 AA = 9v with these motors; they will just turn slower.
