Motor HAT is an add-on board for Raspberry Pi.
It consists of a pca9685 PWM driver and two motor controller chips, that together support up to 4 DC motors, or 2 Stepper motors. It also provides 4 extra PWM Outputs, that can be used for anything that requires PWM, (controlling a LED, a ServoMotor, etc)
The following example show how to create a DCMotor.
using (var motorHat = new MotorHat())
{
var motor = motorHat.CreateDCMotor(1); // MotorNumber can be 1, 2, 3 or 4, following the labbelling in the board: M1, M2, M3 or M4
motor.Speed = 1 // Speed goes from -1 to 1, where -1 is max backward speed, 1 is max forward speed and 0 means stopping the motor
}The following example show how to create a ServoMotor.
using (var motorHat = new MotorHat())
{
var servoMotor = motorHat.CreateServoMotor(0); // channelNumber can be 0, 1, 14 or 15, depending on wich of those xtra channels you connected your servo
...
}Check the ServoMotor documentation for examples on how to use the ServoMotor class
- Up to 4 DC Motors
- And Up to 4 PWM Xtra channels OR up to 4 ServoMotors
