Adding another motor


#1

25mm DC motor packpresently have ultimate 2 with the following motors:
ports 1-3 have the encoder motors
port 4b has the gripper
I want to add another motor which would be connected to port 4a.
This would control a slow rotating platform.

Would the 25mm DC motor pack be a good choice? Or?

Your description states motor is 9V but the picture states 6V

note: the robot is powered by 8x1.2v = 9.6v rechargeable batteries

Since there is no store local, I have to order the product online.

Hi rojoamigo,

Normally,this 25mm DC motor can work when connected to motor Port 4a on MegaPi.
The 6V motor is the old version which discontinued, the new version 25mm DC motor is 9V. I suspect the purchase website has updated the spec but not the picture. We will inform the related department for changing the pictures, thanks!

related question:
The two 25mm DC motors that comes with the starter V2 kit (code 90004). Are they 6V or 9V?
The documentation only states DCMotor-25.

Hi rojoamigo,

The Starter robot has switched to 9V DC motor last year.
When did you buy the starter robot? If it was bought recently, it should be 9V.
