Let’s begin!

A vibration motor is a small motor with an imbalanced weight on the shaft. The imbalance of the weight causes the motor to vibrate while running. The motor is small and is also available in a coin shape and is therefore called a coin motor.

The motor draws a very small current. The NodeMCU can supply sufficient current to run the motor. We use a push-button to control when the motor runs. As long as the push-button is pressed, the motor will run.
