For slightly more powerful motors.
DC MOTOR 2 click can drive more powerful and faster motors compared to the first [DC
MOTOR click][0]. It carries Toshiba’s TB6593FNG driver, which can drive motors with
voltages from 2.5 to 13V, with an output current of up to 1.2 amps average (or 3.2 amps peak
levels)
The microcontroller supplies the PWM signal through mikroBUS™, but a few additional
pins are there to make sure the rotor behaves just like you want it to, so it doesn’t spin
out of control.
A combination of two pins, IN1 and IN2, allows you to configure the speed, direction
(clockwise or counter clockwise), or mode of stopping of the motor. It can either abruptly
stop with the short break function, or just stop spinning when it runs out of momentum
with the regular stop mode.
An additional standby pin is for power saving features, putting the chip into standby
mode.
The Libstock example shows off these features. The product page has more
information.
