One of the many fun things about embedded computers is that you can move physical things with motors. One of the many fun things about embedded computers is that you can move physical things with motors.
But there are so many different kinds of motors (``servo``, ``stepper``, ``DC``), so how do you select the right one? But there are so many different kinds of motors (``servo``, ``stepper``, ``DC``), so how do you select the right one?
