The First Maker-Friendly Guide to Electric Motors

Makers can do amazing things with motors. Yes, they're more complicated than some other circuit elements, but with this book, you can completely master them. Once you do, incredible new projects become possible.

Unlike other books, Motors for Makers is 100% focused on what you can do. Not theory. Making.

First, Matthew Scarpino explains how electric motors work and what you need to know about each major type: stepper, servo, induction, and linear motors. Next, he presents detailed instructions and working code for interfacing with and controlling servomotors with Arduino Mega, Raspberry Pi, and BeagleBone Black. All source code and design files are available for you to download from motorsformakers.com.

From start to finish, you'll learn through practical examples, crystal-clear explanations, and photos. If you've ever dreamed of what you could do with electric motors, stop dreaming...and start making

Still going strong

My dogs chew apart EVERYTHING, but all six of these are still in great shape. They prefer and fight over the purple one though for unknown reasons. 🤣

Loud
Size: Small, Color: Assorted Color
I have mixed feelings about this product. I bought this because my puppy kept breaking the squeaker in his squeaker toys. I wanted something where is the squeaker was more durable. This was definitely more durable, it was also 10 times louder than the squeaker in his squeaker toys. He would squeak it all day and night and I could barely hear anything over it. If you asked my puppy to give the review, I’m sure he’d give it five stars and a glowing review, but for me, it was too loud of a squeaker.
