Datasheet

There are drop-down menus to select motor configuration and buttons to start and stop
connected motors spinning, with the Log showing the serial commands that are being sent
from the Pi to the Gertbot.
This is one of the great things about the Gertbot: most of the hard work of controlling motors
is already taken care of by the software on-board. You can test the control from the supplied
GUI before using the same commands from your own Python or C program, without spending
time implementing low level motor control yourself.
