Orange Pi DC motor Driver at Leenabot


In this article, I am explaining how to drive 5V DC Motor using Orange Pi and Dual Chanel Motor driver L9110.

This is the GPIO PIN diagram for Orange Pi. Orange Pi has 40 GPIO PINs which can be used for Embedded programming.






I am using GPIO PIN PA7 and PA8(PIN 29 & 31) for this demo to send control signal to Motor driver L9110.



L9110 can be used to drive two motors, DC or stepper Motors. In this demo I am using 5V DC motor. 
The green socket in this picture is connected to DC motor two-wire each. L9110 has four input PINs, as shown in picture Motor A and Motor B input signal can be given to control two Motors. In this Demo, pins are connected as below

1. Motor A 1A is connected to GPIO PIN PA7 from Orange PI
2. Motor A 1B is connected to GPIO PIN PA8 from Orange PI
3. Ground from the external power supply 
4. VCC 5V from the external power supply 
5. Motor B 2A is not used in this demo
6. Motor B 2B is not used in this demo

The connection is as shown in the below picture, I am using power bank with two 5V power supply one for Orange PI and other for driving Motor. power supply from Orange PI GPIO PIN is not recommended. 


  
Once the connection is done as explained above, write this simple python code in vi Editor( vi Motor.py). In this code first i setup PA7 & PA8 using setcfg and then I send high & low to move Motor in an anticlockwise direction.



sleep for 5min and send LOW & HIGH signal for clockwise direction. Run the code with below command. Motor will rotate for 5sec, stop, clockwise rotation for 5sec and stop.

Online robotics course for kids

Image
Why the robotic class  is important for school kids? Kids pick out up a lot of habits and developments from faculty. School is the number one center of studying for kids and consequently, maximum kids begin their studying and entrepreneurial journey from their school. Having instructions on a topic like robotics will help faculties to encourage kids to attempt various things. How to make the kids future-ready? Robotics is a discipline this is developing at an exponential price and very quickly, we can all see automation becoming an everyday issue. Therefore, encouraging kids to soak up robotics faculty tasks will go an extended manner in assisting them to put together for destiny. As a generation grows, numerous jobs are going out of the marketplace because newer methods are derived to carry out the equal factor. This has caused a recession in regards to some fields. But one discipline which appears to be going nowhere but up is robotics. It encourages kids to analyze new ma...

L293D DC MOTOR DRIVER FOR ROBOTICS

Image
L293D is 16 PIN Motor Driver IC . It’s very useful in driving DC and stepper Motor for Robotic car. It can drive two motors. There are many Motor driver boards designed using L293D available in the market. If you are concerned about size and space than consider soldering L293D by yourself, The benefit you can save money, space and avoid additional components.  This is a simple PIN soldering detail as given below? 1.     Solder and join PIN 1,9,8,16 and connect to 5V power supply( Red Wire), This will drive both Motors on 5V 2.     Join PIN 4, 5, 12 and 13 to ground. Solder them all together. Connect to ground of power supply (Black wire) 3.     PIN 2 and 7 are data signal input from  Raspberry PI GPIO PIN  to drive Motor 1 connected to PIN 3 and 6 4.     PIN 10 and 15 are data signal from  Raspberry PI GPIO PIN  to drive Motor 2 connected to PIN 11 and 14 ...
