DESCRIPTION
The first time I made a motor move under my software’s control was the moment I fell in love with embedded systems. It is more than blinking lights and sensing the environment. There is something magical about having my code change the world.
Since then, I’ve caused many small fires trying to recapture that rush. If your hardware is good and your software pays attention, perhaps you can learn from my findings instead of recreating them.
This is the (unedited) introduction to the new motor chapter for the second edition of Making Embedded Systems. I'm almost done (!!!) with the chapter. I really appreciate the feedback I get from the Slack group on this chapter and the book as a whole.
