DockerPi Motor Board(A)

Description

DockerPi Motor Board(A)-6.jpg

DockerPi Motor Board(A) is a DockerPi series expansion board.It can control two 12V DC motors. It can be used in Raspberry Pi.You could communicate with it by opening I2C. it also can be stacked with other DockerPi expansion board. DockerPi Motor Board(A) has dozens of modes.You can develop it as you like. You could choose single motor,of course,you could control both of them at the same time. If you need to run for a long time ,we recommend that you use our DockerPi Power expansion board to provide more power.

Note: DockerPi Motor Board does not support hot plug.

Features

DockerPi Motor Board(A)-1.jpg
  • DockerPi Series
  • Programmable
  • Control directly(without programming)
  • Extend GPIO Pins
  • Two DC 12V motors
  • Selective control
  • Can stack with other stack board
  • Independent of the mainboard hardware (require I2C support)

Official Compatibility Test

Not only support the following development boards, other development boards can be compatible if they have I2C peripherals. (Note: some software changes may be required)

Specification

Note:You need to notice the power supply is lower than 17V and higher than 12V.

  • Automatically turn on speed alignment mode in PWM mode.That is the PWM of MotorA follows the PWM of the MotorB.
 The value of PWM ranges from 0 to 1200.
 The value of speed ranges from 100 to 1300.
  • The register of 0x09 could set the MotorA and MotorB's status of direction.
 When the value is 0x00,the MotorA and MotorB are CCW.
 When the value is 0x01,the MotorA is CW,MotorB is CCW.
 When the value is 0x02,the MotorA is CCW,MotorB is CW.
 When the value is 0x03,the MotorA is CCW,MotorB is CCW.
  • The register of 0x13 is the enable bit
  • The register of 0x14 could set the Model of alignment

It won't automatically return to the default value, it will keep the last state when you start it.

 When the value is 0x00,the PWM of MotorA follows the PWM of the MotorB.
 When the value is 0x01,the PWM of MotorB follows the PWM of the MotorA.
  • The parameters of Motor
 Power supply voltage:VM = 15 V(MAX)
 Output current:Iout = 1.2 A(ave)/3.2 A(peak)
 Standby(power save)system
 CW/CCW/short break/stop function modes
  • We recommand you to buy our power board.So,you don't have to worry about the power.

Moreover,you need be careful to connect the Power Board.The Power Board is under the Motor Board.

  • When you set the value of register ,don't forget to set the value of 0x13.
  • If your motors are connected properly and the power is on properly,the red LED on the motor will light up.

bus = smbus.SMBus(MOTOR_DRIVER_BUS)

print("Please set the value range from 100 to 1300")
MOTOR_DRIVER_SPEED_SET_A = (int)(input("Set the speed of MOTOR_DRIVER_A:"))
while(MOTOR_DRIVER_SPEED_SET_A < 1300):
	MOTOR_DRIVER_SPEED_SET_A += 1
	time.sleep(0.01)
	bus.write_byte_data(MOTOR_DRIVER_ADDRESS,MOTOR_DRIVER_SPEED_A_H,(MOTOR_DRIVER_SPEED_SET_A >> 8))

FAQ

  • Q: If i set some value of register address,but the Motor has no response,what can i do for it?
 A: Firstly,please check the power supply port.
    Secondly,you need to check whether you open I2C.
    Thirdly,you may not set the value of register address :"0x13" and "0x09"


  • Q: If i directly control it without programming,when i finish setting the value,but the motor doesn't work.
 A: Please try to set the value of register 0x13 again.
