Code Examples

60 RPM Geared Motor Documentation

Overview

The 60 RPM Geared Motor is a compact, high-torque DC motor designed for applications requiring low-speed and high-torque output. With a gear ratio of 1:120, this motor provides a reliable and efficient solution for IoT projects requiring precise control over speed and direction.

Technical Specifications

Rated Voltage: 6V DC
 Rated Current: 100mA
 Speed: 60 RPM
 Gear Ratio: 1:120
 Torque: 10 kg-cm
Operating Temperature: -20C to 60C

Connections

The 60 RPM Geared Motor has the following connections:

VCC (Red wire): Connect to a 6V DC power supply
 GND (Black wire): Connect to ground
 Signal (Yellow wire): Connect to a digital output pin on a microcontroller or motor driver

Example 1: Arduino Example - Motor Control with direction

In this example, we will demonstrate how to control the 60 RPM Geared Motor using an Arduino board.

```cpp
const int motorPin = 9;  // Digital pin 9 for motor signal

void setup() {
  pinMode(motorPin, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
  // Set motor direction clockwise
  digitalWrite(motorPin, HIGH);
  delay(2000);

// Set motor direction counter-clockwise
  digitalWrite(motorPin, LOW);
  delay(2000);
}
```

In this example, we define a digital pin (pin 9) to control the motor signal. In the `loop()` function, we set the motor direction to clockwise by setting the pin high, and then set it to counter-clockwise by setting the pin low.

Example 2: Raspberry Pi Example - Motor Control with speed regulation

In this example, we will demonstrate how to control the 60 RPM Geared Motor using a Raspberry Pi and the RPi.GPIO library.

```python
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time

# Set up GPIO pins
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
motor_pin = 17  # GPIO 17 for motor signal
GPIO.setup(motor_pin, GPIO.OUT)

# Define a function to set motor speed
def set_motor_speed(speed):
    GPIO.output(motor_pin, GPIO.HIGH)
    time.sleep(speed)
    GPIO.output(motor_pin, GPIO.LOW)
    time.sleep(1 - speed)

while True:
    # Set motor speed to 50%
    set_motor_speed(0.5)
    time.sleep(2)

# Set motor speed to 20%
    set_motor_speed(0.2)
    time.sleep(2)
```

In this example, we define a function `set_motor_speed()` to set the motor speed by adjusting the duty cycle of the PWM signal. We then use this function to set the motor speed to 50% and 20% in an infinite loop.

Important Notes

Make sure to use a suitable motor driver or power supply that can handle the current requirements of the motor.
 Use a decoupling capacitor to filter out noise and ensure stable operation.
 Ensure proper heat dissipation and mechanical mounting of the motor to prevent overheating and mechanical stress.
