DC Motor Examples - Raspberry Pi Pico

The following pages includes short Python programs that demonstrate essential operation of the Raspberry Pi Pico board with one or two DC motor actuators attached via a driver circuit.

Each sample can be run by copying the program into code.py on the CIRCUITPY drive offered by the board. Several samples also require an additional Python driver file also placed at top level on CIRCUITPY.

The text can be pasted directly from this page, or each file can be downloaded from the CircuitPython sample code folder on this site.
