#165458 - Depends on what you want to control
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Yes, it is possible. But the type of motor and the type of control of the motor will affect how much hardware you will need inside the microcontroller, or how much hardware you will need on the outside.

If in doubt, I would say that it is possible to control a 12V motor with any 8051 you can find. Also possible to control stepper motors. For big motors (high current or high voltage or 3-phase, ...), the answer usually is: If you need to ask, then you can't.

High currents can kill both electronics and you.

High voltages can kill both electronics and you.

Bugs in hardware or software, or unexpected reboots, can kill both electronics and you.
