Vibration Motors

for absolute beginners // a quick guide to building a simple vibration motor circuit, as well as the simplest Arduino code to turn the vibration motor on and off. Details coming soon!

Parts Needed:
1 Arduino Board
1 Vibration Motor
1 1N4001 Diode
1 0.1µF ceramic capacitor
1 1KΩ Resistor
1 2N2222 NPN Transistor
1 USB Cable (Arduino Board to Your Computer)

Tip:
Have several back up transistors, resistors, diodes and capacitors. These break quite easily when you are still starting out! Fear not, these parts are quite easy to find, and are actually more affordable when bought in bulk.
