Will the motor driver fit this motor?

Simple question: Will the Motor Driver L298 Module be able to control a simple geared DC motor.

The motor runs backward on reverse polarity, and I would really like to avoid messing with relays to change polarity on it…

Furthermore, can the speed be adjusted on a motor like this?

Thanks again!

simple answer: yes

but, how much speed adjustment would you want to do when it’s full speed is .6 turns per minute?

Not much, but it comes in different speed editions, will see how the experiments go.

The speed though, is having a huge impact on the torque-abilities, so its a balance. Went for the most powerful one in first go.
