Controlling :
As depicted in fig 4 , there is a provision to connect two motors to the driver, with a power supply positioned in between.
To initiate a test run of the motors, you can conveniently utilize the push buttons integrated into the driver, specifically
M1A_SW and M1B_SW for motor 1, and M2A_SW and M2B_SW for motor 2.
It is important to note that the direction of each motor is determined by its individual connection.
Reversing the motor's connection will result in a reversal of its direction
of rotation. Reversing the connection of motor will reverse its direction.
Motor control using Microcontroller :
The motors can be easily controlled using any microcontroller equipped with 5V pins. By providing PWM signals to the PWM pins
of the drive (PWM1 and PWM2), the motor speed can be adjusted accordingly.
To change the direction of the motors, a signal from any digital 5V pin can be directed to the corresponding direction pins
(DIR1 and DIR2). Furthermore, to stop the motor motion, a 5V signal from any digital pin can be applied to the sleep pins of the
drive (SLEEP1 and SLEEP2). For a visual representation of these connections, please refer to fig 5 on the subsequent page.
Motor control using potentiometer :
If you intend to control the motor's speed using a potentiometer, you will need to employ a microcontroller such as Arduino.
This microcontroller can receive input from the potentiometer and subsequently provide output to the PWM pins of the drive.
For a visual reference regarding this setup, please refer to fig 6 on page 13.
