Luckily, Micky provided us with a good tutorial on how to hook it up! The DC motor tutorial: I simply recreated this circuit and copied the code from this tutorial into Arduino, exported it to the NodeMCU and voila: it worked! ![Breadboard setup for the DC motor.

Made by: Daniël van Kesteren](/files/-M4CDefzv8i3RRm34OY9) The next step would be to connect the DC motor to the velostat sensor I created in week 6. I ran into an issue, however. I noticed that, if I removed the resistor and the wire that connects the D1 pin to the resistor, the DC motor would still run when connected. I thought this was strange, considering how I followed the tutorial. NOT FINISHED --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
