Motor Driver Module

The Motor Driver Module project demonstrates how to control a DC motor using an Arduino Nano and a motor driver module. The motor can be rotated clockwise and counterclockwise, with the ability to stop the motor in between rotations.

Circuit Setup

1.Connect Motor Driver Module to Arduino Nano:

Connect the IN1 pin of the motor driver module to a digital pin (e.g., pin 2) on the Arduino Nano.

Connect the IN2 pin of the motor driver module to another digital pin (e.g., pin 3) on the Arduino Nano.

Connect the motor terminals to the motor output terminals of the motor driver module.

Connect a power supply (battery or adapter) to the motor driver module to power the motor.

Instructions

1.Circuit Setup:

Wire the motor driver module and DC motor to the Arduino Nano as described in the circuit setup section.

2.Power Supply:

Ensure the power supply connected to the motor driver module is appropriate for the motor's voltage and current requirements.

3.Code Upload:

Connect the Arduino Nano to your computer via USB.

Open the Arduino IDE and paste the provided code.

Upload the code to the Arduino Nano.

4.Testing:

Once the code is uploaded, observe the behavior of the DC motor.

Monitor the Serial Monitor for printed messages indicating motor rotation direction.

Verify that the motor rotates clockwise, stops, rotates counterclockwise, and stops again as programmed.

Applications

robotics: Control motors in robotic projects for locomotion or manipulation tasks.

automotive: Implement motor control systems for vehicle applications such as windshield wipers or power windows.

Industrial Automation: Use motor driver modules to control conveyor belts, pumps, or actuators in industrial settings.

Notes

Ensure the motor driver module can handle the voltage and current requirements of the DC motor.

Adjust the delays in the code to modify the duration of motor rotation and stop periods.

Experiment with different motor driver modules and DC motors to match the project requirements.
