Wiring and Interface Notes
Connect the motor terminals to the output of an L298N or L293D motor driver module. The driver's logic inputs should go to digital/PWM pins of your microcontroller. Always power the motor from a capable 12V supply—do not attempt to drive it directly from Arduino or Pi 5V pins, as they cannot supply sufficient current.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I run this motor directly from an Arduino or Raspberry Pi GPIO?
No, you must use a motor driver board like L298N. Microcontrollers cannot provide the high current needed for the motor.
Is this motor suitable for a 5 kg line follower robot?
No, its torque is designed for small robots up to about 1 kg. For heavier payloads, choose a higher‑torque geared motor.
