Motors and Movement

Motors and Movement course is designed to help learners develop a strong understanding of how to control motion in electronics and microcontroller projects. Creating moving mechanisms requires knowledge of motor types, driver circuits, power requirements, and programming techniques. This course provides a structured and beginner-friendly learning experience that helps students build confidence in connecting motors, controlling their behaviour, and developing practical movement systems.

Throughout the course, learners will explore essential concepts, including DC motors, servo motors, stepper motors, motor drivers, speed control, direction control, and position control. The programme focuses on practical motion projects, allowing students to understand how electrical signals and mechanical components work together to produce controlled movement. As learners progress, they will improve their ability to select suitable motors, integrate sensors and inputs, troubleshoot movement issues, and create their own automated mechanisms.
