What’s the difference between a standard motor and an encoder geared motor? In this video, we break down the gearbox (higher torque, lower speed), the encoder (position feedback for closed‑loop control), and the 6‑wire hookup – motor power, encoder power, and encoder outputs. Learn the polarity rules, how to connect to an STM32 timer, and how Hall‑effect encoders output two 90°‑phase‑shifted square waves to determine forward/reverse rotation. Perfect for robotics, precision motion, and DIY projects.
