Dear customer,
thank you very much for choosing our product. In the following we have listed what you have to consider
during the setup.

The MotoDriver2 is an expansion board that allows the control and use of up to two DC motors. The DC
motors can be controlled with a constant voltage between 5V and 35V.

1. INTRODUCTION

Noce:

Remove the jumper from slot 3 if the power supply is above 12V. This will acvate power to the Onboard
5V Regulator. The 5V output is ideal for powering an Arduino, for example. This is only acve if the jumper
is set to slot 3.

3.1 CONNECTION

The power supply for the MotoDriver2 (PIN 4) should be between 5V and 35V.

This depends on your conguraon and the used components.

3.2 EXAMPLE-CODE

To use the DC motors on the module, connect the motors, the module and your Arduino as shown in the
previous picture. Transfer the following code example completely to your Arduino to test the
funconality.

//Motor 1

const int motorPin1 = 9;

const int motorPin2 = 8;

//Motor 2

const int motorPin3 = 7;
const int motorPin4 = 6;

int speed = 180;

void setup(){

//Set pins as outputs

pinMode(motorPin1, OUTPUT);
pinMode(motorPin2, OUTPUT);

pinMode(motorPin3, OUTPUT);

pinMode(motorPin4, OUTPUT);

//Motor Control A in both directions

analogWrite(motorPin1, speed);
delay(2000);
analogWrite(motorPin1, 0);
delay(200);
analogWrite(motorPin2, speed);
delay(2000);
analogWrite(motorPin2, 0);

//Motor Control B in both directions

analogWrite(motorPin3, speed);

delay(2000);

analogWrite(motorPin3, 0);
delay(200);
analogWrite(motorPin4, speed);
delay(2000);
analogWrite(motorPin4, 0);
}

void loop(){

}

4.2 EXAMPLE-CODE

To use DC motors on the module, simply connect the motors, the module and your Raspberry Pi, as
shown in the previous picture. Transfer the following code example completely to your Raspberry Pi to
test the funconality.

import sys

import time

import RPi.GPIO as GPIO

mode=GPIO.getmode()

GPIO.cleanup()

Forward=26
Backward=20

GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)

GPIO.setup(Forward, GPIO.OUT)

GPIO.setup(Backward, GPIO.OUT)

def forward(x):

GPIO.output(Forward, GPIO.HIGH)
print("Moving Forward")
time.sleep(x)
GPIO.output(Forward, GPIO.LOW)

def reverse(x):

GPIO.output(Backward, GPIO.HIGH)
print("Moving Backward")

time.sleep(x)

GPIO.output(Backward, GPIO.LOW)

while (1):

forward(5)
reverse(5)
GPIO.cleanup()
