Hello @randyseedle ,
Thanks for your post.
For a simple 12V brushed DC motor (<1A), Kinetis K02/K20 or KE02/KE04 are perfect choices.
They provide PWM (via FTM), GPIO control, ADC for current sensing, and are low-cost and easy for beginners.
You can refer to our SDK demo downloaded here:
Select Board | MCUXpresso SDK Builder

If you later want to try BLDC or FOC control, you may upgrade to the Kinetis KV series, but for your current 12V DC motor, K/KE family are more than enough.
