How to control the output rating of Raspberry Pi Pico Micro Python

Question

I'm new to the Raspberry Pi community and need to power a 1v motor however, I can not figure out how to output such power.

Here is all of ,my code if you need it:

from machine 
import Pin
import time

led=Pin(25,Pin.OUT)
Motor=Pin(15,Pin.OUT)
print("working!")
for i in range (3):
    Motor.value(1)
    led.value(1)
    time.sleep(0.5)
    Motor.value(0)
    led.value(0)
    time.sleep(1)
    
Motor.value(0)
led.value(0) 

Answer 1

You cannot control the output power of the Pi, however you can turn it on or off and even read its current state. What you want is a MOSFET to drive the motor. This is a sample circuit that you can use. The 12V can be whatever your motor needs. It is important that the grounds be connected and that motor is powered by a external power supply, not the Pi. This simple circuit will allow you to control the motor's speed by PWMing the output pin. Just a note, this inverts the signal so A high on the output turns on the MOSFET pulling the output low. You can skip the diode if you use a MOSFET with an appropriate UIS (valanch) rating. Hopefully this answers your question.
