Science Buddies Electronics Kit for Arduino: https://www.homesciencetools.com/prod...

Learn how to control a DC motor with an Arduino and a transistor and an external power supply. This approach only lets you spin the motor in one direction - check out the next video in our series to learn how to make the motor reverse directions with an H-bridge. See our complete playlist of Arduino tutorials here:    • How to Use an Arduino   and the Science Buddies website for cool science projects you can do with an Arduino: https://www.sciencebuddies.org/search...
