controlling motors through firefly arduino UNO
Hi,
I have been experimenting with firefly lately but i couldnt find any way to control motors through it.. i have heard of 3 types of motors
stepper
servo
simple ( those in kids cars)
I have a stepper that i was trying to control but m stuck, i was supplying 1000, 0100, 0010, 0001 to blink n then to 4 digital pins... cant get beyond this... i know there must be solution other than this.
i cant buy servo as its too expensive here in karachi.
About simple motors, is there any solution that i can control there speed and all as i am looking for few motors whose radians \speed can be controlled through sliders.?
i need to make an animated thread model. any other thing you people can suggest like i heard about actuators?? is it cheap ...
please i am kinda stuck for a month now in thesis..... m using arduino UNO ,

Hey Hassan,
I am going to move this conversation over to the Firefly Forum here: http://www.fireflyexperiments.com/discussions/post/1438445. I have posted some info and links to examples related to Stepper control using Firefly/Arduino Uno.

thanks for replying.
i tried to post on firefly web several times but its not posting so i deicided to write over here.
hobby motors seems like good package, it seems much user friendly.
1.can i control hobby with arduino?
2.how many be controlled as there are 13 DP? does that mean i can tweek 13 only / or is there any way i can control more?
3. does PMW control mean i can adjust them with slider ( because thats what i m looking for)?
4.If i go for stepper, does each stpper motor requires a separate controling board?
