This is the third book of the Arduino Short Reads series. Book 1 covers everything you need to get started with this popular, low cost and versatile micro controller eco-system. This book takes a comprehensive look at how to control the many types of motor used in Arduino based projects. The book looks at the theory and operation of DC motors, servos and stepper motors. You will gain a solid understanding of how to safely interface these motors to your Arduino board without damaging it using transistors, H-Bridges and dedicated controllers such as the ULN2003 and L298N.
There are 9 experiments to help reinforce your understanding, and these are designed to be easy to execute with low cost and readily available components such as the NEMA-17 stepper motor. You will also apply your knowledge to build a basic remote controlled vehicle and servo controlled thermometer.
This series of books are written with the budding engineer in mind, for students or those simply looking to have fun. Whatever your goals are, it is hoped that you find this book useful, engaging and that you have fun.
