Hi there :slight_smile:

I’m semi-new to robots and need help to figure out how to connect my motor to my motor controller. Not sure of the right cable / connector / terminal blocks

Motor: robotshop.com/lynxmotion-ghm-04-gear-head-motor.html

Motor Controller: robotshop.com/dagu-4-channel-brushed-dc-motor-controller-2.html

Thanks!

There’s no set cable to go between the motor you chose and the controller you chose. For the motor, you can use the MW-01 wires, and solder the leads to the right JST connector (three pin where the center pin is not used). Alternatively (we don’t carry that JST connector), you should be able to use a normal 0.1" spaced connector like you would find here.
