How to control a DC Motor with an Arduino

By controlling the motor, we mean controlling its speed and direction of rotation. We can control the motor using the Arduino and the L298N driver. Before we learn how to control a DC motor with the Arduino, we need to understand some basic concepts of motor control. The speed of the DC motor can be easily controlled by adjusting the input voltage supplied to the motor.
