Simple arduino DC motor, - Coffee is love - Jun 22, 2016
How do I make it so in the serial monitor I can type start or stop and have a dc motor spin or not spin lol, I see 200 million tutorials everywhere that are like hook up IC's and diode's and everything in existence just to have a DC motor turn on and off none that are like type start in serial to tell the arduino to turn that on.. nothing like that for some reason.

but that has a separate C# program.. do I not need to use that?

If you are talking about communicating through serial ports, I made a tutorial here on HF quite a while ago.

Is this what you are looking for?

Well, I mean, the only lines of real importance that I see in the c# are the following:
Code
serialPort1.Open();
//and
byte[] b = BitConverter.GetBytes(PWM);
serialPort1.Write(b, 0, 4);* - Coffee is love - Jun 23, 2016
