Thanks for the reply. I've had real problems trying to find details on the motors, but I've managed to get them working using the Sparkfun IOIO Instructions for motors. Basically a diode, transistor & resistor. I'm using Basic4Android to write the control software, and can get readings already. Great board by the way, very easy to get started with.
