Yesterday i worked all day on making a motor run. It turns out it isn't as simple as it sounds.
The Arduino pins it turns out cannot generate the amount of current the motor requires.
I had to use a transistor to drive the motor. The online tutorials were using NPN transistor which is easier, i had to figure out how to do it using a PNP transistor. It had been a long time since i took electronics course.
Here is the victory video.
