In this part I will show you how to use two photocells to control the on/off of two vibration motors in Arduino. The trigger was designed as if two photocells are covered by hands, then those vibration motors will vibrate simultaneously.
'''Hardware You Need:'''  (for each item x2)
Photocell
Vibration Motor
Arduino Board
1N4001 Diode
0.1µF ceramic capacitor
10KΩ Resistor
2N2222 NPN Transistor
USB Connector
So how do I test if the vibration motor works well?
The following circuit is the basic method to test your motor without photocell:
TIPS! For this circuit you may need a 1KΩ Resistor.
