SPEED CONTROL OF DC MOTOR WITH ARDUINO AND L298 MOTOR DRIVER

PWM  CONCEPT

PWM speed control is a technique of transferring desired average power to the motor driver from arduino microcontroller by increasing or decreasing the pulse width of transferred square wave signal. This is also called a changing of duty cycle of signal of enable pin. This can be done by the pwm function of arduino using analogWrite() function and with the use of potentiometer.
analogWrite(variable,0); means 0% duty cycle
analogWrite(variable,255); means 100% duty cycle
analogWrite(variable, 128); means 50 % duty cycle and so on

look and understand the figure below .
