How to use - Physical Component
Add a DC Motor Component to a GameObject, in this case a simple cube.
Add a Kinematics Controller,this can be found under Mechanics > Add Kinematics > Kinematics Controller. Make sure the Kinematic Controller is visible in the hierarchy and not connected to the Cube.
Make sure the Cube is parented under the Kinematic Controller in the Hierarchy.
Add a Control Panel
Set the Preferred Velocity
Press Play to see the rotation of the cube, controlled by the DC Motor
