A Beginner's Guide to Choosing & Using Motors, Servos and More

Instead of showcasing the host who is explaining , they must have shown some animation or practical application which demonstrate the difference . That would have made the understanding task easier.

great video thank you

Interesting, are there linear actuators capable of 100 Hz continuous running?

Brilliant video so healpful and well delivered. Working on a project where a small lightweight camera will switch between multiple discrete positions by rotating horizontally. I’m guessing a servo motor is the right choice? Would like to avoid using an encoder if possible

Hi! You would call a stepper motor the motor of our powered side mirrors of rhe car, which go up down left and right, or those have another specific name? I'm trying to find a mini motor of this kind to move my rear view camera to specific positions. Thanks for your help.

OMG! 11 Mo!?

394 likes? Im 3 minutes in and your ability to explain; clear indication of mastery. New subscriber here despite not having seen any of your other videos :) But things could change of course :)

an actual hidden gem of a channel

absolutely criminal that this video doesn't have hundreds of thousands more views.

great and informative, thank you!

Thank you very much, you show a lot of base concepts, which can help beginner realize these motors to learn

Great video. I mean really well done! 🎉

Extremly good explanation with examples. Thank you!!!!

Thanks! I'm retired now and want to learn some basic stuff like this for fun projects to mess around with. Ive realized there's quite a learning curve.

Just started looking into Arduino and motors. And I’m confused… From what little info I’ve read so far, nothing mentioned that servos only rotate 180. My understanding was that the main reasons for deciding when you need a servo over a stepper motor is if you need more torque and higher speeds (rpm) then you’d chose a servo. But then, how is a servo useful at all if it doesn’t rotate continuously? if it only does a 180 degrees rotation…
Do you have a more detailed video about servo motors? Kind of hard to find videos that aren’t 5-6-7+ years old (I don’t want to watch outdated videos using technology from many years ago, I don’t know if outdated info would help me in any way and I’m afraid of learning something that’s already outdated)

Great presentation,

This was a great video! Super informative, and well-paced. Also very impressed with your ability to nonchalantly write backwards on the glass board!

it's hard to overstate how great this video format is. So many maker videos go into 'how' to do something or or show off something very complex they did. Videos like this that break the why in simple terms for a general audience are so so rare.

Great video

This video was so helpful for me, thank you!

Genuinely one of the more intuitive explanations for these topics I've ever heard. I already knew most of the concepts before watching this video, yet somehow I still feel like I understand them more after your explanations. The luggage scale tip is just pure genius! Keep it up man 👍

Bravo- this is by FAR the best video on this subject ever- and I am a super nerdy old dude

Sweet video. Clears up a lot. I want to put a motor on my chain winders on my windows. From this video it seems like a stepper motor is the way to go. Now, I just need to work out a control and maybe a wifi part so I can control it from my phone.

Excellent video, thx!

I was looking for a video about laser cutting and stumbled upon this....AMAZING, thank you brother I learnt more than i seeked in my search!

Can we turn transmitter with buttons into transmitter with potentiometer .and also receiver with servo motor.if yes please reply and if possible make a video please.

That was excellent! So clear, concise and helped my understanding greatly.

Yewwww fuck yeah mate, love the vid, love the channel. I'm from the central coast and I love hearing aussies explaining electronics.
