Overview
The BO Motor is a small DC motor commonly used in Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or STEM robotics projects. It converts electrical energy into mechanical rotation, making it ideal for wheels, fans, small robots, and other moving mechanisms.
Key Features
Type: DC (direct current) motor
Voltage: Typically 3–12 V DC (check specific model)
Speed: 1000–15000 RPM depending on voltage and load
Current: Low current draw for microcontroller operation
Shaft: Standard round shaft for wheels, gears, or pulleys
Compact: Small size, fits easily in STEM kits or DIY robots
Compatible with motor drivers, H-bridge modules, or direct microcontroller PWM control
