Dad,

Did you check out the worm gear in the advanced gear kit? it provides a 24:1 reduction in a very small package.

If you decide that you must slow down the motor in software, keep in mind that a DC motor reduces speed linearly with voltage but the power is reduced by the square of the voltage. In other words, you will also be reducing torque...

Depending on your application, the mechanical option may be best.

Mike
