Project 5: Table of Contents
Circuit 5A: Motor Basics
In this circuit you will learn the basic concepts behind motor control. Motors require a lot of current, so you can’t drive them directly from a digital pin on the RedBoard. Instead, you’ll use what is known as a motor controller or motor driver board to power and spin the motor accordingly.
Circuit 5B: Remote Controlled Robot
It’s remote control time! In this circuit, you’ll use a motor driver to control the speed and direction of two motors. You will also learn how to read multiple pieces of information from a string list so that you can use it to tell the robot what direction to move in and how far to move.
