Embedded Circuits

Motors

Description 

This activity introduces the technology of DC motors as a possible component to use in prototyping. Motors automate rotational motion in your projects

Instructions 

The electrical circuit that powers the motor consists of four basic elements: the battery, the wire, a switch, and the motor. There are a variety of motors, batteries and switches that can be used. You must ensure that the voltage supplied by the battery is within the operational range of the motor. 

Deliverables 

Once the motor is spinning an element of your project, record and upload a video of the prototype in action.
