These motors need to be "hacked"
just a bit before you use them on a robot. I just
cut all the wires where they connect to the circuit
board, chuck the little connector with its 3 wires
into my "parts bin," and then connect power to the
two (red & black) motor leads.
For CW rotation (facing the
white output gear, with the metal "nub" pointing at
you), connect the red wire to positive voltage, and
black to negative (or ground). For CCW rotation,
just reverse this polarity.
These motors are small, but
"noisy" (in an electrical sense), and relatively
inefficient. I'd suggest you use them in place of
servos on battery-powered 'bots, with a parallel
capacitor to help deal with the noise they put out.
Also note that the gearhead contains a worm gear,
so these motors aren't useable in any bot that
makes use of motor feedback for position limiting
(namely, most Nv
net walkers).
