The objective of this project is to apply the joystick control to the DC motor which has a lot of real-world application.
Parts ListThere are many Arduino learning kit on the market with various flavors. In this tutorial I used the Elegoo Uno R3 Super Start kit from Amazon. The kit has a cloned Arduino Uno 3 which is very similar to the original Uno, as well as a good collection of common components and a comprehensive manual with 24 fun Arduino projects with sketches.
- Arduino Uno R3 board
- L293D
- DC Motor
- Joystick Module
- Breadboard with DC power supply
- Jumper Wires
Refer to the documentation supplied with the Elegoo kit for a detailed explanation functional diagram for the L293D IC and the joystick. In particular:
