● Observations , reflection on activity

In this activity, we successfully tested the joystick shield with an Arduino and
controlled a DC motor using TinkerCAD. We verified the joystick buttons by
controlling LED outputs and adjusted LED intensity based on the joystick's 2-axis
values. Additionally, we controlled the DC motor’s direction and speed using PWM.
This hands-on experience helped us understand Arduino programming, circuit
connections, and motor control while improving our problem-solving skills.
