Hi!

I?ve tried to control a small motor from those small battery cheap cars and
it works when connected to the inputs!
But it seems that I can?t turn it off! I didn?t want to control its rotation
speed just on and off!

Other thing i can?t get any action when connecting it to the outputs...

Can someone help me out?

Thankx in advance

All the best

Tom Igoe's excellent minisite on Physical Computing has motor
control circuits:

(Almost any hobby electronics book would have some in, too.)

I've not used Infusion's Switch actuator, but it seems to be able
to switch 200V dc / 1 Amp, which would easily be enough for any motor.
