Operate DC Motor

Postby MaR1oC » Sat Sep 01, 2012 10:56 am

Hello,

Is it possible to operate a DC Motor using NXT input ports and pins 1 (9V) & 2 (GND)?

Thanks in advance :D :D

I doubt that the input ports can source enough current to drive a motor but then again, I am not a hardware guy. Did you read through the LEGO documentation they have released?
