I need urgent help on this project for school.
I recently purchased the arduino uno rev3 and 5 of these motors.
I absolutely have no idea how to wire these up to the arduino, as they have a 6 wire encoder that i have no idea what to do with.
If you have some experience with this type of connection, please help!
There is an instruction link on that page - have you looked at it?
As far as I can see there are + and - connections for the motor and 4 other connections for the encoder - Vcc, A, B and GND.
There are plenty of Arduino Threads and tutorials about using an encoder - Google should find them for you.
If you want to run all 5 motors from a single Arduino you may have a challenge because reading an encoder can be hard work for an Arduino.
