To connect the TB6612FNG motor driver to a Seed ESP32-C3 for controlling a motor, we'll have to consider the necessary inputs from the ESP32-C3 to the motor driver, such as inputs to control the speed and direction of the motor, and also ensure power connections are correctly made. Let's assume that we're aiming for basic forward and reverse control of one motor using PWM for speed control.
Based on common uses, we'll connect PWM outputs from the ESP32-C3 to the TB6612FNG's PWM inputs, digital outputs to the direction control inputs, and ensure both the motor driver and the ESP32-C3 have power and are properly grounded. Since specifics about the ESP32-C3 pins aren't given, I'll make some typical assumptions for a generic GPIO layout:
  • PWM Control: Connect PWMA and PWMB to the ESP32-C3's PWM-capable GPIO pins. These will control the speed of motors connected to Motor A and Motor B outputs respectively.
  • Direction Control: Utilize AIN1, AIN2 for motor A direction control, and BIN1, BIN2 for motor B direction control. These will be connected to general-purpose output pins on the ESP32-C3.
  • Standby Control: The STBY pin needs to be driven high to take the driver out of standby mode; connect this to a GPIO pin set to high or directly to VCC if you don't need to control standby from the ESP32-C3.
  • Power Connections: Ensure VMX pins are connected to your motor power supply, VCC is connected to the ESP32-C3โ€™s 3.3V or an appropriate logic level power supply, and all ground (GND, PGNDX) connections are tied together with the ESP32-C3โ€™s ground.
Here's an example of how you could make the connections, using typical GPIO names for the ESP32-C3:
  • Connect PWMA:Pins 1 to ESP32-C3:GPIO10 (assuming GPIO10 is PWM capable).
  • Connect STBY:Pins 1 to ESP32-C3:GPIO15 (Set GPIO15 high or connect STBY directly to 3.3V if you don't require software control).
  • Connect AIN1:Pins 1 to ESP32-C3:GPIO4.
  • Connect AIN2:Pins 1 to ESP32-C3:GPIO5.
  • Connect BIN1:Pins 1 and BIN2:Pins 1 similarly to other GPIOs if controlling a second motor.
  • Ensure VCC:Pins 1 is connected to the 3.3V supply from the ESP32-C3, and GND is connected to the ESP32-C3's ground. Also, connect VMX to your motor supply voltage, capable of supplying the necessary current.
Do note:
  • Make sure to configure the GPIO pins used for PWM (GPIO10 in the example above) appropriately within your code.
  • GPIOn represents a generic GPIO number; replace "n" with actual GPIO numbers as per your ESP32-C3's pin assignment and application requirements.
This should give you a basic setup for controlling motors with the TB6612FNG and an ESP32-C3. Adjust pins according to your specific requirements and always consult both components' datasheets for detailed information.

How it works

Using

General
Project PCB Layout
Flux is a browser-based electronic design automation tool that lets you create circuit schematics and PCB layouts. It uses a three-column layout where you can:
  1. Design and edit schematics in the central canvas.
  2. Search the parts library and navigate project objects in the left panel.
  3. Adjust object details, chat with the AI, and review design rule checks in the right panel.
It also includes features like AI-assisted layout, real-time pricing updates, and integration with major distributors. Would you like more details about a specific aspect?

The datasheet for TB6612FNG,C,8,EL includes typical application circuits that illustrate how to wire the device for motor driving applications. While Flux doesn't automatically supply a complete sample schematic within the project, you can use that reference to build one in your schematic by:
  • Connecting the power supply and decoupling capacitors as shown in the datasheet.
  • Wiring the appropriate control signals (e.g., inputs for direction and PWM) as indicated in the application diagram.
  • Including protection components and following the recommended layout practices.

To help build a sample schematic based on the TB6612FNG datasheet recommendations, Iโ€™ll ask 3 structured questions one at a time. This will refine the design before outlining the steps.
Question 1:
Do you want the sample schematic to include both motor outputs (typically two independent motor channels) along with the control signal and power circuitry, or focus solely on the control interface for the TB6612FNG?
You can answer or skip, and I'll proceed with the next question.

Below is a summary of the schematic updates to create a sample circuit for two motors using the TB6612FNG,C,8,EL motor driver based on the datasheet recommendations:
  • Motor Driver Configuration:
    • Ensure the TB6612FNG,C,8,EL is placed in your schematic to handle two independent motor channels.
    • Wire the motor outputs appropriately so that Motor A and Motor B are driven via separate output channels of the driver.
  • Decoupling Capacitors:
    • Add a 0.1โ€ฏยตF capacitor (e.g., C1) for each VCC pin on the TB6612FNG. This will help stabilize the power input by filtering out noise.
  • Control Signal Wiring:
    • Connect the control signals for each channel (such as PWM, AIN, BIN, and STBY) from your microcontroller to the corresponding pins of the TB6612FNG.
    • Make sure to interconnect common grounds, wiring the ground of the motor driver, microcontroller, and any external circuits together using the Ground component.
You can now use the "take action" button to apply these schematic changes to your project.
