Assignment: DC Motor: Actuation Assignment 1

Description:

In this lab we were tasked with creating an interactive device using a DC motor.  Using the circuit and code for a potentiometer controlled motor, I intended to make a vibrating mouse toy.  I didn't have enough wire to go the length of the string that's connected to the mouse, so I had to settle with running the vibrating motor directly from the battery.  In the end, the project was a success (see pictures).   

Components Used:

DC motor

Eraser

Plastic cap to cover spinning eraser

Stuffed toy mouse

Cloth tube (string)
