NEW!!! How to add a RFID Card Reader to your Arduino! bit.ly aksoapy29.comoj.com Link to older website I made for this tutorial: sites.google.com In this tutorial, I will show you how to build an inexpensive DC motor controller. It doesn’t go backwards. You need to use an H-bridge, which I might make in another video. This is my first REAL tutorial, and I was a little nervous recording it. My camera was also in a bad spot, kinda. Hope you like it! Rate, Comment, and SUBSCRIBE! If you have ideas for music in future videos, PM me.

I wanted to put this video up because I could not find very many videos on youtube about a small DIY pond. Here is a short video of my backyard fountain, water feature or pond. I am not sure what to call it but it is one of those 3. I was able to make this for less than a hundred dollars. I used an old motar mixing tub as a preformed pond. The pumps were found on clearance at petsmart for 9.99 a piece. The electric is just a corded three outlet staked unit that the pumps were plugged into. The pump’s cords are sealed in a pvc pipe underground. I wanted to make this changable for right now and I am sure I will change it some next year. The fountain heads are just brass tubing that I cut in half and then crimped with plyers until the desired flow. It is very soothing and I have been spending a lot of time outdoors enjoying it. Any questions please comment or ask; I will be happy to respond. I also was able to include my propane fire bowel by adding a small pad behind it.
