This course teaches learners how to control DC motors using the L298N H-Bridge Motor Controller with an Arduino. The learning outcomes include understanding the history and working principles of DC motors, learning about H-Bridge functionality, and mastering Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) for speed control. Students will acquire skills in connecting the L298N module to motors and Arduino, running motor control demos, integrating potentiometers and joysticks for motor speed control, and building an Arduino-driven car. The teaching method involves a tutorial format with practical demonstrations and coding exercises. This course is intended for robotics enthusiasts, Arduino hobbyists, and individuals interested in IoT projects.
