This low cost project is a RC servo like position control of one or two geared motor(s) with a pot as angle feedback. You can send the arduino microcontroller a value from 0 to 1023 and the arduino will control the motor speed and direction to reach your target value. The PID algorithm will insure that the motor will not get into hold vibrations if the pot has some influences. This article will describe where you have to take attentions and what you have to setup to get the best results. The project will help you to connect any arduino motor shield or other H-Bridges to the controller because it is open source and the output pins can therefor be changed as you like. You can upload a better modified version and improove this article by contacting me. With some pin changes you can port this code to other arduino boards.
