Last updated 7 years ago

The DC gear motor to be used is of 3~5V, which looks as:

In order to estimate the race car's speed, we also provide a speed encoder for each DC motor.

Clearly, two welding spots come with the DC motor, which we need to weld out the electrical wires manually.

Hardware Wiring

Sketch

/*
Adafruit Arduino - Lesson 13. DC Motor
*/

int motorPin = 3;

void setup() 
{ 
  pinMode(motorPin, OUTPUT);
  Serial.begin(9600);
  while (! Serial);
  Serial.println("Speed 0 to 255");
} 

void loop() 
{ 
  if (Serial.available())
  {
    int speed = Serial.parseInt();
    if (speed >= 0 && speed <= 255)
    {
      analogWrite(motorPin, speed);
    }
  }
}

We will use 4 L298N DC motors in our race car. Please refer to for more details.
