Dumb question regarding number 11. Why not use the potentiometer to control the motor speed directly? What is the benefit of using an Arduino in this case?
True! The ESP series definitely offers powerful features like built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, making it a solid choice for many projects. However, Arduino still holds its ground due to its simplicity, extensive community support, and vast libraries and tutorials. For beginners or projects where Wi-Fi isn't a necessity, Arduino remains a fantastic option. It’s all about choosing the right tool for the job!
