Please note that the motor must be low power for two reasons: fi rst because
if we feed testing from USB connector must not pull too much current from the
computer and second, because the transistor is current limited.
1N4001 diode is positioned as protection to prevent that the reverse currents
created in the motor winding could damage the transistor.
