Introduction
This chapter deals with common types of motors and how they can be operated with Arduino. While making an LED blink or showing some text on a screen can be cool, nothing is more powerful than making something move. Here, we will tackle most of the types of motor that we can find these days.
There are many things that can be done using motors. Using a simple servo motor, we can position things precisely. For example, a robotic hand is usually just a bunch of servo motors glued together. By using ...
