One of our popular micro metal gearmotors, equipped with a pre-soldered Micro Metal Motor Encoder (MMME) shim.
We've fitted this motor with a MMME shim that upgrades it to a super smart quadrature encoder motor, which uses two Hall Effect sensors and a 6 pole magnetic disc to provide your microcontroller with feedback on how fast and how much your motor is moving.
You can connect the MMME shim to a controller board (like Motor 2040) using a 6 pin JST-SH cable, with no soldering required (motor cables are sold separately). Using cables to connect up your motors means they're easy to incorporate into your robotics designs, and straightforward to connect/disconnect if you need to swap out your motors for ones with different gear ratios.
If you need a motor+encoder with a different gear ratio, we also sell MMME shims on their own to solder yourself.
This gearmotor is a miniature brushed DC motor with a metal gearbox.
