Stepper motors fall somewhere in between a regular DC motor and a servo motor. They have the advantage that they can be positioned accurately, moved forward or backwards one 'step' at a time, but they can also rotate continuously.

28BYJ-48 - 5V Stepper Motor
https://components101.com –
One of the most popular stepper motor among students and makers is the 28-BYJ48 Stepper Motors. These motors are used in your DVD drives, Motion camera and many more place. It has a 4 coil unipolar arrangement and each coil is rated for +5V hence it is relatively easy to control with any basic microcontrollers.

Resistor Color Code Calculator
https://circuitdigest.com –
A resistor is identified by its pattern of color of bands. There are 4, 5 and 6 band resistors. To calculate the resistance of a resistor, you can select the appropriate color bands in the this resistor color code calculator and calculate the resistance value according to the color of bands.

Voltage Divider Calculator
https://circuitdigest.com –
A potential divider circuit is a very common circuit used in electronics where an input voltage has to be converted to another voltage less than it. This circuit is very useful for all analog circuits where variable voltages are required, hence it is important to understand how this circuit works and how to calculate the values of Resistors.

Programming an ATtiny84A from Arduino
https://www.sparkfun.com –
I’m currently working on a project that requires a cheap, low-power microcontroller that’s programmable through Arduino and has a few more pins than the ATtiny85. That’s where I found the ATtiny84A. It has many of the same features as the ATtiny85, but has 12 I/O pins instead of six.

L293D Pinout
https://components101.com –
The L293D is a famous 16-Pin Motor Driver IC. As the name suggests it is mainly used to drive motors. A single L293D IC is capable of running two DC motors at the same time; also the direction of these two motors can be controlled independently.
