What it is
N20 Micro Metal Gear Motor 12V 100RPM for Robotics & DIY Projects is a compact 12V DC gearmotor in the popular N20 form factor, built for controlled rotational motion in small robots, actuators, smart locks, mini conveyors, and custom mechanisms. It works with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and ESP32 projects through a suitable motor driver or H-bridge, and it is not an I2C, SPI, or UART device.
Pins
This product is a DC gear motor rather than a logic module, so it does not have an I2C, SPI, or UART pinout. Refer to the listing photos and any available datasheet for terminal identification and mechanical fit details.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I use this N20 micro metal gear motor with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or ESP32?
Use the motor through a suitable motor driver or H-bridge. The controller handles the control signals, while the driver supplies and switches power for the 12V DC gear motor.
Is this N20 motor an I2C, SPI, or UART module?
No. This product is a DC gear motor, not a digital communication module, so it does not use I2C, SPI, or UART interfaces directly.
What is the output speed of this 12V N20 gear motor?
The product description lists a geared output speed of 100RPM. That makes it suitable for projects that need controlled motion instead of high speed.
What projects is this 100RPM N20 micro metal gear motor good for?
It is a good fit for small robots, actuators, smart locks, mini conveyors, model builds, and other DIY mechanisms in tight spaces.
Where can I find the pinout or datasheet for this N20 motor?
Check the listing photos and any seller-provided datasheet for terminal orientation and fit details. As a DC motor, it does not have a logic pinout like a sensor or communication module.
