Fun Projects With Elegoo Uno R3 Super Start Kit - Joystick Control for DC Motor

In this Instructables, I'm going to try to control the direction and speed of a DC motor by a joystick with the help of Arduino, use the components from the Elegoo Uno R3 Super Start Kit available from Amazon.com.

There are many Arduino learning kit on the market with various flavors. The Elegoo Uno R3 kit has a cloned Arduino Uno 3 very similar to the original, as well as a good collection of common components and a comprehensive manual with 24 fun Arduino projects with sketches. The objective of this project is to apply the joystick control to the DC motor which has a lot of real-world application.
