Using vibration motors
We can easily power a coin-shaped vibration motor using an Arduino UNO, if we want to test something in a fast manner. For reasons we are going to see below, this is not recommended and to take full advantage of the motor's specifications we should use a couple more components, like BJT transistors and diodes.
A good way to hook up a vibration motor in a solderless breadboard is to carefully strip the coating and twirl the electrodes as shown in the picture. In this manner, we ensure better contact with the screw terminals.
On the back side on the coin-shaped vibration motors, there is a sticker, which can be removed to firmly attach the motor to a flat surface.
