- Page 4 Motor Driver HAT HARDWARES The module includes three part in hardware: Power, PWM and Motor driver POWER MP1854 regulator is used to convert the input voltage (VIN_USER), has wide 4.5V to 28V input range, could provide 3A output. Even the chip supports 28V input, however, VIN_USER is also the power supply for motor, so the actual working voltage of this module is 6-12V.
- Page 5 Motor Driver HAT Raspberry Pi only has one hardware PWM pin (GPIO.1), and the software PWM of WiringPi and Python will cost CPU resources. This module, we use PCA9685, I2C bus controlled, support 16-channel 12-bits PWM output. The frequency range of PWM is 40Hz to 1000Hz.
- Page 6 The slave address of I2C bus is 7-bits, highest is fixed 1. A5-A0 are hardware selectable. This Motor Driver HAT, A5 is connected to ground (0) by default, you can change resistors of A0-A4 to configure the slave address. If you weld a resistor or short it, means 1, otherwise 0.

Motor Driver HAT MOTOR DRIVER TB6612FNG is a driver IC for DC motor with high performance. VIN_USER is input voltage, in theory, motor speed up if this voltage is increased. Recommend input voltage is 6~12V PWMA and PWMB control speed of motors, AIN1 and AIN2, BIN1 and BIN2 control rotate direction of motors. - Page 8 Motor Driver HAT HOW TO USE ENABLE I2C INTERFACE To works with Raspberry Pi, you should first enable I2C interface as below: sudo raspi-config Then choose Interfacing Options -> I2C -> Yes 8 / 16...

Motor Driver HAT DEV_Config.c(h): Defines PINS used and communication type, different between BCM2835 and WiringPi. PCA9685.c(h): Drive code of PCA9685 chip. Could output 16-channel PWM signal via I2C interface MotorDriver.c(.h): Drive code of TB6612FNG chip, control two motors. main.c: main function DEMO CODES 1. - Page 12 Motor Driver HAT This project has Exception Handling. Generally, motor keeps moving even you stop project. value of control register doesn’t be clean even you use CTRL+c to stop code. signal(SIGINT, Handler); single is signal handling function of linux system. SIGINT signal generates when CTRL+c is executed to stop process, then Handler() function will run.
- Page 13 Motor Driver HAT WIRINGPI PROJECT DIRECTORY AND FILES The files on WiringPi project directory are similar to BCM2835. Their only difference are: DEV_Config.c(h): functions called are different Makefile: linker is different. USING Demo code you download has no executable file moto, you need to run make generate it then execute command ./motor to run the demo code.
