The Lab Materials will be released soon! (You will receive an email from Luma when ready)

Until then, check out: Additional Resources for bonus content to get you in the zone :D

Introduction

Welcome to the first MakerLab! In this lab, we’ll be

How microcontrollers can control DC motors, servos, and more
Using PWM to vary speed and direction
Concepts like torque, back-EMF, and H-bridges
How to wire and safely power your circuit, as well as program simple movements.

By the end, you’ll learn everything needed to hit the ground running when working on projects with spinning components (especially useful for the robotics sessions!)
