3A Motor Driver Shield

Postby jakefrost309 » Sun Aug 19, 2018 11:41 pm

I would like to ask about some coding to control DC motors using 3A Motor Driver Shield

From the user manual,

DIR = direction
EN = PWM

Hence, lets say if i want to control the speed of the motor 100 pwm CW(5s), stop(5s), 100pwm CCW(5s), how do i code?;

is this correct?

digitalWrite(en1, 100);
digitalWrite(dir, HIGH); //this is for CW direction
delay(5000);

digitalWrite(en1, 100);
digitalWrite(dir, LOW); //this is for CCW direction
delay(5000);

Can advice how to write the code for stopping the DC motor? Also, is this way of coding correct?

Hi jakefrost309,

To stop, you can set the PWM to 0.

The coding seems correct, try to upload and see the result.
