Can I run a DC motor with Myrio?

[KimNaParkLee00]

I have a myrio and a Motor adapter for Ni myRIO, and a DC motor. I want to check if the DC motor is working, but I looked up and found that other projects require external circuitry. Can't I run a DC motor with only Myrio and adapter?

DC motor has only two terminal. It's not servo motor.

That  motor adapter board has two connectors, labelled "Motor PWR" and "Servo PWR". Those are used to supply power supply for your motors…

(Default digital IO pins will never drive enough current to spin a motor!)

I connected a dc motor using myrio and motor adapter, but it does not move and only makes noise.

Is there a lack of output? As for the code, I used the code from the picture.

How much current are you drawing? It is impossible to see how things are connected by looking at your picture.
