    Negative, those are Unipolar motors. Also, very very low current. BlackBox is for Bipolar motors, with at least 1.3A rating.

    Those little 28s are terrible in every aspect (backlash on the internal gearbox especially)

    OK...thanks! I was thinking of using the 28s to raise/lower a pen on a pen plotter I'm building. I've been using a servo that works OK so I'll probably just stick with it.
