Pin Configuration

  • 10 RPM Geared Motor Documentation
  • Pinout Description
  • The 10 RPM Geared Motor has a total of 4 pins, which are used to control the motor's direction and speed. Below is a detailed description of each pin:
  • Pin 1: VCC (Positive Power Supply)
  • Function: Provides positive power supply to the motor
  • Voltage: Typically 3V to 6V DC (dependent on the specific motor model)
  • Current: Dependent on the motor's current rating, usually in the range of 100mA to 500mA
  • Pin 2: GND (Ground)
  • Function: Provides a common ground reference for the motor
  • Voltage: 0V (Ground potential)
  • Pin 3: DIR (Direction Control)
  • Function: Controls the direction of motor rotation
  • Logic Level:
  • + High (H) or Logic 1: Clockwise rotation
  • + Low (L) or Logic 0: Counter-clockwise rotation
  • Voltage: Typically 0V to VCC (dependent on the microcontroller or control circuit)
  • Pin 4: PWM (Pulse Width Modulation)
  • Function: Controls the speed of the motor
  • Signal: PWM signal (digital signal with varying duty cycle)
  • Duty Cycle:
  • + 0% to 100%: Motor speed varies from minimum to maximum
  • + 0%: Motor stops
  • + 100%: Motor runs at maximum speed
  • Frequency: Typically in the range of 20 Hz to 1000 Hz (dependent on the specific motor model and control circuit)
  • Connecting the Pins
  • To connect the 10 RPM Geared Motor to a microcontroller or control circuit, follow these steps:
  • 1. VCC Pin: Connect the VCC pin to a positive power supply (e.g., 3V or 5V) through a suitable current-limiting resistor or a voltage regulator, if necessary.
  • 2. GND Pin: Connect the GND pin to a common ground reference point on the microcontroller or control circuit.
  • 3. DIR Pin: Connect the DIR pin to a digital output pin on the microcontroller or control circuit. Use a suitable pull-up or pull-down resistor if necessary, depending on the control circuit's requirements.
  • 4. PWM Pin: Connect the PWM pin to a PWM-enabled digital output pin on the microcontroller or control circuit. Ensure the PWM signal frequency and duty cycle are within the motor's specified range.
  • Important Notes
  • Ensure the motor's power supply and control signals are within the specified voltage and current ratings to avoid damage or malfunction.
  • Use suitable decoupling capacitors and EMI filters to minimize electromagnetic interference and ensure reliable operation.
  • Consult the motor's datasheet and the microcontroller or control circuit's documentation for specific connection guidelines and recommended values for resistors, capacitors, and other components.

Code Examples
### Example 1: Controlling the Motor using Arduino
In this example, we'll demonstrate how to control the 10 RPM Geared Motor using an Arduino board.
```c++
const int motorPin = 9;  // Pin connected to the motor's VCC terminal
void setup() {
  pinMode(motorPin, OUTPUT);
}
void loop() {
  // Move the motor forward
  digitalWrite(motorPin, HIGH);
  delay(1000);
// Move the motor backward
  digitalWrite(motorPin, LOW);
  delay(1000);
}
```
This code assumes that the motor's VCC terminal is connected to digital pin 9 on the Arduino board. The `digitalWrite()` function is used to set the motor's direction (HIGH for forward, LOW for backward).
### Example 2: Controlling the Motor using Raspberry Pi and Python
In this example, we'll demonstrate how to control the 10 RPM Geared Motor using a Raspberry Pi and Python.
```python
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time
# Set up GPIO library
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
# Set up motor pin as output
motor_pin = 17
GPIO.setup(motor_pin, GPIO.OUT)
try:
    while True:
        # Move the motor forward
        GPIO.output(motor_pin, GPIO.HIGH)
        time.sleep(1)
# Move the motor backward
        GPIO.output(motor_pin, GPIO.LOW)
        time.sleep(1)
except KeyboardInterrupt:
    GPIO.cleanup()
```
This code assumes that the motor's VCC terminal is connected to GPIO pin 17 on the Raspberry Pi. The `RPi.GPIO` library is used to set up the motor pin as an output and control its direction using the `GPIO.output()` function.
