Datasheet

library bundle for both express and non-express boards.

Remember for non-express boards like the, you'll need to manually install the necessary libraries from the bundle:

adafruit_drv2605.mpy

adafruit_bus_device

You can also download the adafruit_drv2605.mpy from its releases page on Github.

Before continuing make sure your board's lib folder or root filesystem has

the adafruit_drv2605.mpy, and adafruit_bus_device files and folders copied over.

Next connect to the board's serial REPL so you are at the CircuitPython >>> prompt.

Usage

To demonstrate the usage of the board we'll initialize it and vibrate the motor using effects built-in to the DRV2605

chip. First run the following code to import the necessary modules and initialize the I2C connection with the controller:

Remember if you're using a board that doesn't support hardware I2C (like the ESP8266) you need to use

the bitbangio module instead:

Now you're ready to start vibrating the motor with different built-in effects. First you need to choose an effect to play

based on its ID number. See table 11.2 in the datasheet for a list of all the effects, but for example a strong click with

effect ID #1 would be:

Simply call the set_waveform function and pass the effect ID number of the desired effect (a value from 1 to 123). For

reference here's a quick snapshot of the effects from table 11.2 of the datasheet:

import board

import busio

import adafruit_drv2605

i2c = busio.I2C(board.SCL, board.SDA)

drv = adafruit_drv2605.DRV2605(i2c)

import board

import bitbangio

import adafruit_drv2605

i2c = bitbangio.I2C(board.SCL, board.SDA)

drv = adafruit_drv2605.DRV2605(i2c)

drv.set_waveform(1)
