    I'd add a subject to your post. and also controlling a motor is as easy as controlling an i/o pin or much more complex depending on many factors. I think for us to be able to help you, you need to decide on a specific motor and controller. the type of motor, voltage/amperage and accuracy needed will all factor into how you control it. your choice will also determine what additional circuitry is required and how to interface/control it with the Propeller.

    if you need help choosing a motor/controller your need to provide specific info on what your doing for anyone to make a suggestion.
