I am just becoming interested in robotics and I would like some information.
Could someone please explain to me what is required in hooking up small DC
motors to my PC's parallel port.  I don't want to be frying any hardware!
I already know how to control the output on the pins in the port but can
I just hook a motor directly to it?  Will any motor work?

Thanks for any help
Brian
