A cCircuitPython driver for the DRV8830 DC motor controller.

This driver depends on:

• Adafruit CircuitPython

Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem. This is easily achieved by downloading the Adafruit library and driver bundle or individual libraries can be installed using circup.

Make sure that you have circup installed in your Python environment. Install it with the following command if necessary:

pip3 install circup

With circup installed and your CircuitPython device connected use the following command to install:

circup install cedargrove_drv8830

Or the following command to update an existing version:

circup update

import time
import board
import cedargrove_drv8830

# Instantiate motor controller; clear any faults
motor = cedargrove_drv8830.DRV8830(board.I2C())
motor.clear_faults()

motor.throttle = 1.0  # Full speed forward
time.sleep(1)
motor.throttle = None  # Coast to a stop
