The Grove TBB6612FNG a runs over I²C bus and has the capability to control DC and Stepper motors. At the current stage of implementation only DC motor is implemented.
# Example configuration
grove_tb6612fng:
- address: 0x14
id: test_motor
- id (Required, :ref:`config-id`): The id to use for this TB6612FNG component.
- address (Optional, int): The I²C address of the driver.
Defaults to
0x14
.
Set the motor to spin by defining the direction and speed of the rotation, speed is a range from 0 to 255
on_...:
then:
- grove_tb6612fng.run:
channel: 1
speed: 255
direction: BACKWARD
id: test_motor
Set the motor to stop motion but wont stop to spin in case there is a force pulling down, you would want to use break action if this is your case
on_...:
then:
- grove_tb6612fng.stop:
channel: 1
Set the motor channel to be on break mode which it ensure the wheel wont spin even if forced or pushed
on_...:
then:
- grove_tb6612fng.break:
channel: 1
id: test_motor
Set the board to be on standby when is not used for a long time which reduces power consumptions and any jerking motion when stationary
on_...:
then:
- grove_tb6612fng.standby
id: test_motor
Set the board to be awake, every esphome is restarted the default mode is set to standby to ensure the motor wont spin accidentally
on_...:
then:
- grove_tb6612fng.no_standby
id: test_motor
If you require connecting multiple boards at once, the address can be changed using this action. The address can be changed to a value in the range of 0x01 - 0x7f
inclusive.
on_...:
then:
- grove_tb6612fng.change_address:
address: 0x15
id: test_motor
