In this series, Rick Tellez, the CEO of The Construct, will teach you how to become a robotics expert—from building robots to programming them! Whether you're just starting out or looking to improve, this series will set you on the right path to a successful career in robotics.

In this video, you'll learn how to build a robot motor system from scratch — from wiring it up to controlling it from your computer. By the end, you'll have a full motor control system running right on your desk!

In this video, you'll learn how to read data from a motor encoder using Arduino and how to use that data for accurate robot motion control. By the end, you'll have a fully functional motor control system using encoders.

You’ll learn:

✅ How encoders work
✅ How to get encoder tick data from your motor
✅ How to reset and read encoder values via serial commands
✅ How to calculate ticks per revolution
✅ How this leads to precise closed-loop speed control

This is a must-know skill if you're working with robots, DIY projects, or building your own motion system!
