Didnt get too far. Got all my electronic components out and sorted through them to find the parts needed for the first Arduino/motor exercise. Got the 1k ohm resistor and the 1 microfarad capacitor. Found a 1N4004 diode, the Arduino Uno, the breadboard and jumper wires. But then I

The parts list that accompanies Jeremys #5 video says to use a 2N7052 NPN transistor. Well, the
Element14 page for that component says theyre no longer manufactured. Ive got a BC547B NPN transistor and a 2N2222A NPN transistor, but I dont know enough about transistors to know if one of the two transistors I have should work fine instead of the 2N7052. The specs arent quite the same, and I havent yet figured out how to figure that out. Will work on that more tomorrow.

Well, thats all for tonight. Ran out of time to figure out anything else. Need to learn more about transistors...
