Hi All, I have regular toy motors that I want to use directly with the arduino pins. I was going to plug one end of the motor to pin 4 and the other to pin 5 then set one high and the other low to go forward, and do the reverse to go backward.. My question is what resistor should I use on these pin…

running motor with no motor shield

I see.. Thanks, looks like I'll just buy the shield then.
