In theory yes. Since the motor will be powered by the aux power supply only, as long as it is at 3 volt, it should be OK.

|
|
Is there any way to use 3 volt motors on the Handyboard? They draw about 400 ma. Using a series resistor of about 10 ohms works, but it will have to be about 5 watts, consuming a lot of power needlessly. The FAQ shows how to run 6-36v motors through (...)
