DC Motors: Programming DC Motors with Arduino

What are DC Motors? Direct Current (DC) motors are commonly used in various applications, including robotics, automation, and electronics projects. When combined with an Arduino microcontroller, you can control the speed and direction of DC motors, making them an essential component for many projects. It's important you remember this, do not connect the DC Motor to your Arduino 5v pin, Your Arduino board will quickly die, it cannot power it, instead we need a separate power supply to power the…

Program Tactile Switches with Arduino

What is a Tactile Switch? Tactile switches, often referred to as "tac switches" or "tact switches," are commonly used in electronic circuits and can be programmed with an Arduino microcontroller to perform various tasks or trigger actions when the button is pressed. The tac switch, like any normal switch, can be used to complete a circuits connection. In the image below, when the button is pressed A and B are connected, D and C are connected, this is the correct…

Arduino Analog Input and Output Pins

Understanding The Arduinos Analog Pins Arduino's analog input and output pins are a crucial part of the platform, allowing you to read analog voltage levels from various sensors and devices. The Analog pins are A0 to A5. First thing you need to understand is the analogRead() and analogWrite() functions do NOT read and write the same thing. The analog read function reads a voltage value which is then converted to an analog value. The analog write function writes a PWM…
