Hi,

We don't have any specific motor control example, but you can modify one of our examples and use them for controlling your motor. For ON/OFF you can use the Blinky example to drive a GPIO high/low for example. You will also need to have a driver circuit, as driving the motor directly from the GPIO pin can damage the chip, see electrical specifications for GPIO: https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/ps_nrf52840/gpio.html?cp=4_0_0_5_8_2#unique_524997740

If you need speed control and your motor can be PWM controlled there is a PWM driver, a library and a Low-power PWM example in the nRF5 SDK v17.0.2

The example is placed under the "Peripherals" examples folder and the documentation for the example can be found in the infocenter: https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/sdk_nrf5_v17.0.2/low_power_pwm_example.html

Best regards,

Marjeris
