The document contains an Arduino code snippet for controlling a DC motor based on the detection of a metal object using a sensor. The sensor is connected to pin PD2 and the motor to pin PD3, with the sensor configured as an input with an internal pull-up resistor. The motor is activated when the sensor detects a metal object and deactivated otherwise.
