Smart Home Automation Forum

Hi,

Would this board be suitable to control a small DC motor (I want to automate the chicken coop door). 
Which motor controller would be suitable and can I just connect it to the GPIO pins in the green terminals?

Can I also connect Hall effect sensor to detect open/closed state of the door?
I believe ESP32 has built-in support for hall effect?

sorry, still quite new to electronics/esp32 but therefore I'm looking at this nice board instead of starting from scratch.

Appreciate the advice.

Regards,
Nick

what's your DC motor work voltage and current?

Hi,

I still need to buy the components. Only need a very small motor to lift a 2 kg wooden door by rolling up a small string.
So if there is advice on what to buy let me know.

regards,
Nick

you can chose any relay board, connect to your DC motor.
