Final Year Studio - Development - DC Motor Control

alternate dc motor rotation, originally uploaded by Jimbo (Alan James Wellock).

Since my idea will involve using both digital and analogue mediums I have been experimenting with motors in Spencer's class. Above is a setup that powers a DC Motor and controls the direction in which it rotates, using the mouse's 'y' position on screen. This experiment was undertaken to give me a greater understanding of how to both power the motor from the breadboard and use variables to send out data to the Arduino board to control it. I need to take that knowledge now and apply it to Servo motors, a key piece of technology that will allow me to create an analogue style screen system.
