How to Use a Vibration Motor with Arduino (Lesson #25)

This video tutorial explains how to use vibration motors with Arduino. It covers the types of motors, such as ERM and pancake motors, and their applications. The tutorial details how to connect these motors to an Arduino using a breadboard and the importance of using transistors to power them. It also provides a simple Arduino code to control the motors with a button and discusses power supply considerations for different motor setups.
