For this circuit I used 1 transistor, 1 diode, DC Motor, 330 Resistor, and 6 jumper wires. The wiring was very sight forward.
Below is the schematic, the picture of my completed board, the copy of my code and my short video.

Week 6 - Motors and I do not mix!!!!
For this week's assignment we were to have a secret ingredient as in Iron Chief. Our secret ingredient was a motor and sensor. I decided to try circuit 10 in my book and thought I would be able to accomplish it with ease then add to it. Well, think again. This is the first week I have totally failed. I got my code to check out and uploaded and nothing. I took apart the board 6 times and uploaded the original code in the examples of the Ardinio software and still nothing, no motor movement. I saw Travis was having the same problem and he double checked his motor using a battery so I tried this. When I put each of the motor wires to the ends of the battery it hummed like a top. I also tried the three troubleshooting suggestions in the book and still not luck. I will keep working with this one but I wanted to get my blog in before the deadline.

I'm so sorry that you got frustrated :( I had the same problem as Travis, and I ended up finding out that I had to turn the transistor around. Instead of it plugged in facing right (| , it had to face left |) . I know it's a little late, but maybe that will help.
