Arduino DC Motor Control with Analog Joysticks

This video tutorial explains how to control the speed and direction of DC motors using analog joysticks and an Arduino. It covers the circuit setup, including the use of potentiometers to simulate joysticks in Tinkercad, and provides a detailed walkthrough of the L293D H-Bridge connections. The tutorial also includes a step-by-step guide to writing Arduino code for motor control, demonstrating how to use PWM signals to vary motor speed and direction.
