This week I did the labs where I controlled a DV motor. I first created a circuit with 9V going through a transistor and a regulator, going to a DC motor and using a button to turn it on and off. Then I amended the switch to have an arduino, so the transistor was used to take the 5V and boost it to 9V. I hooked a potentiometer up to this, so I could ramp up the speed of the motor.
The next two labs are to use an H-bridge which I have a tiny bit of practice in and i’m excited to get to soon.

There’s no urgency to this particular lab if it doesn’t apply to your final, but I’m glad to know it’s clear and going well for you.
