Course Overview

The Motors Clinic is a focused two-hour workshop teaching students how to control different types of motors through programming. Students learn the electrical and software principles behind motor control, including PWM (pulse-width modulation) for controlling motor speed and direction. The class covers brush DC motors, stepper motors for precise positioning, and hobby servo motors commonly used in robotics. While often taken as part of the robotics program, the Motors Clinic can also be taken standalone by students interested in electronics and automation. This hands-on class gives students practical skills for any project involving mechanical motion.
