4. Embedded Programming
For this week, I worked with both Arduino and ESP32 microcontrollers. This activity helped me understand how microcontrollers interact with hardware components, especially how digital signals can be used to control motor direction.
Arduino Programming
I used the Arduino to control a DC motor, programming it to rotate clockwise and counterclockwise.By adjusting the digital output signals sent to the motor driver, I was able to control the motor’s direction and movement.

Code Example
// the setup function runs once when you press reset or power the board
void setup() {
// initialize digital pin LED_BUILTIN as an output.
pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT);
}
// the loop function runs over and over again forever
void loop() {
digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH); // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
delay(1000); // wait for a second
digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW); // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
delay(1000); // wait for a second
}
