=== Motor Outputs ===

[[File:Output-Motor.svg|left]]

The motor outputs are pairs of sockets labelled A,B,C,D on the side of the case.
These pairs of sockets give 5 volts.
They can be switched on and off and the direction of current flow can be changed to allow a motor to be reversed.
As with the digital outputs, the power output can be varied through the software, so that motor speed can be controlled.

'''Warning''' ''The outputs on Smart Box are protected against a ‘short circuit’ by overload protection, but as with any electrical power outlet you should take care to avoid shorting the outputs as large currents can flow.''
''Tip - When connecting devices that have sockets on them such as a motor, plug the leads into the motor before you plug them into Smart Box so that the connectors cannot touch together.''
