Detailed Description
Object that controls and keeps state for the whole motor shield. Use it to create DC and Stepper motor objects!
Constructor & Destructor Documentation
◆ Adafruit_MotorShield()
| Adafruit_MotorShield::Adafruit_MotorShield | ( | uint8_t | addr = 0x60 | ) |
Create the Motor Shield object at an I2C address, default is 0x60.
Parameters
| addr | Optional I2C address if you've changed it |
Member Function Documentation
◆ begin()
| bool Adafruit_MotorShield::begin | ( | uint16_t | freq = 1600, |
| TwoWire * | theWire = &Wire |
| ) |
Initialize the I2C hardware and PWM driver, then turn off all pins.
Parameters
| freq | The PWM frequency for the driver, used for speed control and microstepping. By default we use 1600 Hz which is a little audible but efficient. |
| theWire | A pointer to an optional I2C interface. If not provided, we use Wire or Wire1 (on Due) |
Returnstrue if successful, false otherwise
◆ getMotor()
| Adafruit_DCMotor * Adafruit_MotorShield::getMotor | ( | uint8_t | num | ) |
Mini factory that will return a pointer to an already-allocated Adafruit_DCMotor object. Initializes the DC motor and turns off all pins.
Parameters
| num | The DC motor port we want to use: 1 thru 4 are valid |
ReturnsNULL if something went wrong, or a pointer to a Adafruit_DCMotor
◆ getStepper()
| Adafruit_StepperMotor * Adafruit_MotorShield::getStepper | ( | uint16_t | steps, |
| uint8_t | num |
| ) |
Mini factory that will return a pointer to an already-allocated Adafruit_StepperMotor object with a given 'steps per rotation. Then initializes the stepper motor and turns off all pins.
Parameters
| steps | How many steps per revolution (used for RPM calculation) |
| num | The stepper motor port we want to use: only 1 or 2 are valid |
ReturnsNULL if something went wrong, or a pointer to a Adafruit_StepperMotor
◆ setPWM()
| void Adafruit_MotorShield::setPWM | ( | uint8_t | pin, |
| uint16_t | value |
| ) |
Helper that sets the PWM output on a pin and manages 'all on or off'.
Parameters
| pin | The PWM output on the driver that we want to control (0-15) |
| value | The 12-bit PWM value we want to set (0-4095) - 4096 is a special 'all on' value |
◆ setPin()
| void Adafruit_MotorShield::setPin | ( | uint8_t | pin, |
| boolean | value |
| ) |
Helper that sets the PWM output on a pin as if it were a GPIO.
Parameters
| pin | The PWM output on the driver that we want to control (0-15) |
| value | HIGH or LOW depending on the value you want! |
