Since the DC motor requires a relatively large current, for safety reasons, here we use a power module to supply power to the motor. * :ref:`cpn_motor` * :ref:`cpn_ta6586` * :ref:`cpn_power_module` **Required Components** In this project, we need the following components.

Otherwise, a short circuit will likely damage your battery and circuitry. |wiring_motor| **Code** .. note:: * You can open the file ``3.5_small_fan.ino`` under the path of ``kepler-kit-main/arduino/3.5_small_fan``. * Or copy this code into **Arduino IDE**. * Don't forget to select the board(Raspberry Pi Pico) and the correct port before clicking the **Upload** button. .. raw:: html Once the program is running, the motor will rotate back and forth in a regular pattern. .. note:: * If you can not upload the code again, this time you need to connect the **RUN** pin on the Pico W with a wire to GND to reset it, and then unplug this wire to run the code again. * This is because the motor is operating with too much current, which may cause the Pico W to disconnect from the computer. |wiring_run_reset|
