Cytron 10 A Switch Control Potentiometer DC Motor Driver (MD10POT) is made for DC brushed motors which are widely used in many applications due to the ease of use. You can simply connect the motor directly to the battery and it will start rotating. However, if you wish to control the speed and direction of the DC motor, then it will be more complicated. You can refer to the tutorial: 5 easiest ways to control a DC motor to understand the basics of controlling DC motor. MD10-POT is a motor driver or speed controller that enables you to the controller the start/stop, direction and speed of the motor without any hassle.
