Hi, my electronics knowledge is my weak spot, so I thought I would take a practical approach to getting the basics understand and also getting some help using forums. Basically I have a couple of model motors:
Voltage Range: 1.5V to 4.5V nominal voltage 3V
Nominal no Load Current: 0.35A
Nominal full Load Current: 1.1A
I want to drive them from a MCU of which its digital I/O pins:
operate at 5 volts. Each pin can provide or receive a maximum of 40 mA and has an internal pull-up resistor (disconnected by default) of 20-50 kOhms.
Now I was wondering if someone could explain to me how I use all this information, to know If the MCU I/O pins can drive the motors. Im just a bit confused how I have to put all this information together.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you for your time in advance.
