Objective:
Learn how to control a DC motor using Arduino with PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) for speed control.
Steps to Perform:
- Click "Start Simulation" to power up the Arduino circuit
- The DC motor will start rotating at a controlled speed
- The motor runs continuously using PWM signal with value 20
- This creates a low-speed rotation of the motor
- Click "Stop Simulation" to turn off the motor
Key Concepts:
- DC Motor: Converts electrical energy to mechanical rotation
- PWM Control: Uses analogWrite() to control motor speed (0-255)
- Pin 11: PWM-enabled pin connected to motor driver circuit
- Speed Value: 20 out of 255 produces slow rotation (~8% speed)
- Motor Driver: Circuit amplifies Arduino signal to drive motor
- Continuous Operation: Motor runs in loop() without delays
