Chapter 6. Controlling DC Motors
One of the best ways to use Arduino is to add it to a small mobile platform and control the
speed and direction of the wheels. In this chapter, you'll learn how to use the basic capabil-
ity of Arduino to control a small DC motor. You'll then take this to the next level, learning
how to add more functionality using a shield to control the speed and direction of more
powerful DC motors. Then, we'll build a wheeled robot whose speed and direction are con-
trolled by Arduino.
