The MRB Planetary Gearbox Motor typically has two or three wires for electrical connections. Below is a general description of the pin configuration:
Pin/Wire Color | Function | Description |
---|---|---|
Red | Power (V+) | Connect to the positive terminal of the power supply. |
Black | Ground (GND) | Connect to the negative terminal of the power supply. |
Yellow (optional) | Encoder Signal A (if applicable) | Provides feedback for speed and position control. |
Green (optional) | Encoder Signal B (if applicable) | Secondary feedback signal for direction sensing. |
Note: The exact pin configuration may vary depending on the specific model. Refer to the datasheet for your motor.
Below is an example of controlling the MRB Planetary Gearbox Motor using an Arduino UNO and an L298N motor driver.
// Example: Controlling MRB Planetary Gearbox Motor with Arduino UNO
// Ensure the motor driver is connected to the motor and power supply correctly.
#define ENA 9 // PWM pin for motor speed control
#define IN1 8 // Motor direction pin 1
#define IN2 7 // Motor direction pin 2
void setup() {
pinMode(ENA, OUTPUT); // Set ENA as output
pinMode(IN1, OUTPUT); // Set IN1 as output
pinMode(IN2, OUTPUT); // Set IN2 as output
}
void loop() {
// Rotate motor forward
digitalWrite(IN1, HIGH); // Set IN1 high
digitalWrite(IN2, LOW); // Set IN2 low
analogWrite(ENA, 150); // Set speed (0-255)
delay(2000); // Run motor for 2 seconds
// Rotate motor backward
digitalWrite(IN1, LOW); // Set IN1 low
digitalWrite(IN2, HIGH); // Set IN2 high
analogWrite(ENA, 150); // Set speed (0-255)
delay(2000); // Run motor for 2 seconds
// Stop motor
digitalWrite(IN1, LOW); // Set IN1 low
digitalWrite(IN2, LOW); // Set IN2 low
analogWrite(ENA, 0); // Set speed to 0
delay(2000); // Wait for 2 seconds before repeating
}
Note: Adjust the
analogWrite
value to control the motor speed. Ensure the motor driver can handle the motor's current requirements.
