Introduction to Servo Motors and Stepper Motors

Hello everyone, welcome to another Hands On Engineering tutorial. In this tutorial, we’ll be giving an introduction on servo motors and stepper motors. We will be using both kinds of motors in larger setups in upcoming labs; you will need to know how to operate both kinds of motors using an Arduino. We’ll go over the basics of motor operations and give a detailed description of how to write your code.

Before watching this video, we recommend having seen the following videos that are posted below. Videos with multiple parts just have the first part linked, but we recommend watching all of the parts of the video.
