I have Custom made Arduino Motor board. I can run it on 5V, 9V and as well as on 12 V. I have a question can I run DC celling fan or BLDC motor on it without driver. I have 8 ports of motors, DC to DC module. one XTAL 16MHz. ![IMG_20240619_154955_844](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/arduino/original/4X/f/a/3/fa3bf131e8bb7ad8c2ff4471300653baf8d5952c.jpeg) ![IMG_20240619_155006_065](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/arduino/original/4X/5/e/5/5e5d5a899829b8dc46f34ff5376c2a18eaf8fd01.jpeg) ![IMG_20240619_155011_074](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/arduino/original/4X/0/b/5/0b5f01c6b0e15b5adadfedcf29bf9858038e5dd5.jpeg) ---

Hi, @urmathematician Welcome to the forum. > [@How to get the best out of this forum](https://forum.arduino.cc/t/how-to-get-the-best-out-of-this-forum/679966): > > See also [FAQ - Arduino Forum](https://forum.arduino.cc/faq) for general rules on forum behavior and etiquette. Hello, Welcome to the Arduino Forum. This guide explains how to get the best out of this forum. Please read and follow the instructions below. Being new here you might think this is having rules for the sake of rules, but that is not the case. If you donโ€™t follow the guidelines all that happens is there is a long exchange of posts while we try to get you to tell us what we need in order to help you, which is frusโ€ฆ Can you please post a copy of your circuit, in CAD or a picture of a hand drawn circuit in jpg, png? Hand drawn and photographed is perfectly acceptable. Please include ALL hardware, power supplies, component names and pin labels. 1. What are you using as drivers on your PCB? 2. What have you tested with the PCB? 3. What motors was it designed for? Can you please tell us your electronics, programming, arduino, hardware experience? Thanks.. Tom.. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ ๐Ÿ‘ โ˜• ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บ ---

This board I had take it from my teacher and he made it to control DC motors . He had made agriculture multiple DC motor Car and he gave it to me to test it. I had test DC motors and control them with sensors and also install ladder logic in it. But for small ladder program its acceptable. Also I don't have idea about its circuit diagram. When I ask from teacher he told me to do reseaech. ---

Interesting response from the teacher and a good one. First and most important Arduino is shared world wide. Duckduckgo is good at finding things. Get the hint? ---
