Shama_Motor | Project

When I first attempted to get the motor working, I encountered some difficulties. Despite my efforts, the motor wouldn't respond as expected. After troubleshooting for a while, I discovered that the issue was due to a loose connection. Once I secured the connection properly, the motor started working perfectly, confirming that my code was correct all along.
