Hi Helen,

 

Welcome to the Forums!

 

You will need to use a motor driver circuit to allow the low current signals from the Netduino to control the high currents (and voltage) required by the motors.

 

You can do this several ways:

1/ build your own circuit with transistors.

2/ build your own circuit with a motor driver chip such as the L298 "H-bridge" chip.

3/ buy a ready built module with a motor driver chip.

4/ buy a ready built shield that connects directly to the Netduino.

 

The links above are just for examples - there are plenty of modules and shields to chose from.

 

The choice depends on what electronics experience you have, and how you wish to layout your system. Shields can be a bit bulky, but are very simple to use.

 

Hope this helps - Paul
