# Arduino and a Motor

A basic example of controlling a motor using an Arduino.

## Arduino Code

Open up [Arduino Create](https://create.arduino.cc/editor/) and add the following code:

```csharp

int motorPin = 9;

int motorValue = 0;

void setup() {

  Serial.begin(9600);

}

void loop() {

  // Alternate between full speed and off

  if (motorValue == 0) {

    motorValue = 255;

  } else {

    motorValue = 0;

  }

  analogWrite(motorPin, motorValue);

  Serial.println(motorValue);

  delay(1000);

}

```
