Gorillacell Module 066: DC Motor

Table of Contents

DC Motor is an electric machine that converts direct current (DC) electrical energy into mechanical energy, enabling rotational motion. DC motors are commonly used in robotics, automation, and motor-driven projects.

The Gorillacell ESP32 Development Kit includes a total of four (4) DC Motors:

  • 2 pieces of Red Rectangle Lego DC Motor
  • 2 pieces of Red Square Lego DC Motor

These motors can be used for a variety of motion-based experiments, including robot movement, conveyor systems, and rotational mechanisms.
