A DC motor is a simple two-lead, electrically controlled device that converts direct current electrical energy into mechanical energy. It comes with a rotary shaft on which wheels, gears, and propellers, etc can be mounted on.
It can be made to rotate clockwise or anticlockwise by reversing the polarity applied to the leads.
At low speeds, DC motors are impractical for position-control applications as there would be little torque and minimal position control. For that, we recommend using a .
Similar to the servo motor, however, a controller such as the micro:bit can be used to govern the DC motor's operation through PWM.
