The Motor module is a stack-able module which allows the control of up to two DC motors. Each motor can be individually controlled for direction and speed. Support for this module is found in mDesigner.


Pins Usage

The Motor module stacks upon other mCookie modules, but it does utilize several pins.

These pins should not be used when using the Motor module or else there will be interference and unknown behavior.

Refer to the chart below when using other modules, sensors or trinkets along with the Motor module to avoid possible pin conflicts.

Additional more indepth information regarding pins and pin conflicts can be found here: MCookie_Upin27_Layout
