DC Motor Control Arduino Project

Description

This Arduino project allows you to control the speed of two DC motors using potentiometers and enable/disable each motor using slider switches. Additionally, it provides a Serial monitor interface to remotely control the motors.

Features

Individual speed control for left and right motors using potentiometers.
Slider switches to enable/disable each motor independently.
Serial monitor control with commands:
- Send 'L' to open the left motor.
- Send 'R' to open the right motor.
- Send 'S' to stop both motors.

Hardware Requirements

Arduino board
2 DC motors
2 potentiometers
2 slider switches
Motor driver
Breadboard and jumper wires

Wiring Instructions

For detailed wiring, refer to the schematic.png file in the repository.

Usage

Upload the Arduino sketch (dc-motors-potentiometers-speed-control.ino) to your Arduino board.
Open the Serial monitor.
Control the motors using the following commands:
- Send 'L' to open the left motor.
- Send 'R' to open the right motor.
- Send 'S' to stop both motors.
