    This lesson shows you how to control a DC motor using arduino and a L293D Motor Controller. It is important to make sure to use motors compatible with the current capabilities of your control chip and power supply.

    For anyone that was ever wondering, this is actually why fans, like box fans, oscillating fans, etc, have high as the first speed on the dial. It's to kickstart the motor 🙂

    Merry Christmas Paul, Rose and Ronald!
    I’ve been watching your Arduino tutorial series from lesson 1 and have been able to follow along up until this lesson, always doing the assignments before watching the video and have been able to successfully do the math and all without much problem. That is because of your most excellent teaching of course. I’ve learned so much since I started watching your Arduino tutorials about a month ago. I literally didn’t even know something like the Arduino existed till the beginning of this year when I started watching videos from Mark Rober, the Hacksmith and Colin Furze and discovered the world of engineering, electronics, machines like 3D Printers and CNCs and CAD. I was blown away and fascinated at the machines and at what these guys were able to design and build and was always hearing them say they used an Arduino for certain parts of the build.
    It was until 2 months ago that I finally decided that I wanted to learn how to use the Arduino so I bought it but was overwhelmed and did not know where to begin since i basically knew zero about electronics or programing and the tutorials I watched kind of assumed the person already knew a bit of what they were talking about and so I was beginning to feel a bit discouraged until I found your Arduino tutorial series and with your most excellent way of teaching I began to understand how the Arduino worked.
    Your videos and your teaching is amazing because i have not only learned how to build circuits, how to write code and how to troubleshoot but i have also learned Math and Physics and how some components work at a fundamental level.
    I am very grateful to you for making these amazing lessons and making them for free and I am very excited to continue learning. I am also planning on watching your Fusion 360 Tutorial Series because I also want to learn CAD and how to 3D Print.
    Also for this lesson’s assignment, I decided to challenge myself and see how much I’ve really learned from previous lessons and did the assignment but I tried to incorporate every component we have learned to use so far. I hooked everything up, wrote the code from zero using everything I’ve learned so far and once I uploaded the code and saw everything worked perfectly and exactly as the code was written and based on the math, i was blown away. It was a very rewarding feeling. I was smiling the whole time!
    I uploaded the video on my channel and put the code in the description if you would like to see it and maybe grade me on my progress so far XD.
    Again, thank you so much for making these amazing lessons and I am pumped to see what we will be learning next.
    Merry Christmas!

    Rose and Ronald :) Thank you so much for making these videos, they're super helpful and very much appreciated! I'm a university student studying Computer Science and one of our classes is all about embedded systems. We cover a lot of material in class and usually if I'm struggling on something in particular, I come along to your channel because you explain things so well. It's great that you're easy to understand/follow and I also like how you repeat key concepts, making it easier for us to remember.
    Your videos have been especially important during the 2020 Coronavirus quarantine period, since us students haven't been able to attend classes - These videos have been a real saving grace for us, and I cannot thank you enough for taking the time to record and upload these videos. God bless you.

    This was a great tutorial because I actually had a problem with it! Teaching this subject and having studied it in school means that I have a good understanding of the subject matter. However, I couldn't get it to work, so I had to debug it. Using your method of debugging, I went through the possible problems. It turned out to be a faulty wire. I decided to create a project for my students in which there would be a problematic component (a bad wire which would be given to my students without them knowing it) and my students would have to figure out why their circuit wasn't working. I am co-teaching a electronics lab class at a local university next year and was asked to do so because too many students are now too heavily invested in theory rather than practice (building the circuits they design), so they don't have a real world understanding of the many things that can go wrong. Another great video!

    Rose and Ronald in the Garden.!!!
    I always follow your video's to the end.
    I THINK I CAN GIVE YOU A PARTIAL EXPLANATION OF THE AVERAGE SHORT VIEUW_TIMES:
    Many times, i see your videos a second or a third time or more.Most i lookup just little fragments , that i did not understand very well the firtst time,
    Sometimes i scroll back or forward to see better some details, to write down some parts of the sketch...or understand things better....
    I do that because i am just a beginner, and becoming a litle older and slower (66 y).
    I think more people do that.If every short revieuw is counted as a vieuw.....this could make a big number of very short vieuws.
    OF course there will be a lot of experienced an clever young arduino-users, and they wil also be curiuos what yo say... but as they know already everything
    about arduino and much more, they look and say :"yes i understand this all what he is saying.... and stop the vieuw.

    Rose and Ronald. Excellent video, as always. You know, Paul, this is probably a minority opinion, but I'd really love it if you'd do another series of Arduino videos, but with more "behind the curtain" explanation of how the magic behind the sensors, components and ICs work, similar to your explanation of semiconductors and diodes in #2. I found that super helpful. I realize that this potential series wouldn't be as popular as some of your others, but I'm pretty sure there are quite a few of us (who tend to be silent) that would watch, learn from and appreciate them.

    I really like that you explain peripheral concepts like what can ruin the board, etc., and not just what to plug where.
    I appreciate developing areal understanding, not just semi-capable to do some things. Your videos help with real understanding.

    Rose and Ronald - I'm listening to all your Arduino tutorials Mr. McWorther. I have learn a lot so far and I'm looking forward to complete this program. Electronics is now a nice hobby for me. Thank you so much! I live near Ottawa: capital of your northern neighbor country.

    I watch your videos to the end. I did the homework and also added a pot to control the speed of the motor. Great tutorials!

    Rose and Ronald look like great folks! I'm 57 and brand new to this world of circuitry. This is becoming a hobby that I can carry into retirement. The way you teach is so helpful! Thank You!

    I always watch the whole video, and always watch more than once. I am a silver learner ( recently retired teacher on the England/Scotland border ). I did some programming in the 80s/90s using BASIC but computers got way to complicated for amateurs to mess with and life got in the way, as it does. So I lost the habit of coding until the arduino came along. So now I am working my way through your videos , enjoying learning a new skill. Thanks so much for posting all these . All the best for 2022, Peter.

      Something really magical about BASIC. I worked in the 80's doing instrument control with HP BASIC. You could control test and measurement equipment using simple BASIC programs. Really a magical time for me.

      @@paulmcwhorter I'm pleased to have reminded you of a happy time. It was surprising what you could do with just a few Kilobytes of memory.

    Nice work Rose & Ronald! Another awesome lesson!
    For some reason I couldn't find my my L293 in my adruino kit (not an elegoo) but luckily there is an electronics supply store across from work....I call it my toy store!
