If i'm not mistaken motors can work both ways and output electricity as well as receive it. if so, is there a way to connect a small dc motor (from a cheap rc car) and read the values that are output by turning the gear? thnx

It's a DC motor, so it'll work as a DC generator, surely?

and when you turn it the other way :
