【Arduino】Simple fan with speed control and oscillating function

Imagine that you’re enjoying the breeze made from yourself in the blistering Summer. Couldn’t be better! Just with three handy gadgets, you can make a simple fan with speed control and oscillating function.

Materials:

one DC motor

one servo

one rotary encoder module

circuit diagram:

Working principle:

when we rotate the rotary encoder, we get a digital quantity. By rotating left and right, this digital quantity can be increased or decreased. We read this digital quantity and convert it into three gears of the fan. The module also has a button, when it is pressed, the oscillating function will be turned on until the next time it is pressed.

Experimental code:

/***********************************************************

File name: _26_DCMotorModule.ino

Description: The state of DC motor includes its forward, reverse,

             acceleration, deceleration and stop. And you will

             see the data on the serial monitor
