Lesson 2.5 Using Motors

Description

In this lesson, students will learn how motor controllers can be used in their circuits to control DC motors. They will explore the different ways to control the direction and speed of motors in their programs, setting them up to use this very adaptable component in many future programs.

Objective

Students will be able to:

  • Use motors and motor controllers in their circuits
  • Apply commands they are familiar with to control motors
