Development

DC motor connection

Connect one DC motor to OUT1A,OUT1B, the other DC motor connect to OUT2A,OUT2B.

DC motor control mode

0 0 0 0 Off Off Off Off Close
1 0 1 0 High Low High Low Forward
0 1 0 1 Low High Low High Backward
1 1 1 1 Low Low Low Low Stop

Step motor connection

  • Connect step motor to Microduino A3906 module:
    • Four wire two phase stepper motor has two sets of coil A and B. Each group of coil resistance is very small, only a few ohm.

A and B group is absolute insulation, disconnected. Measured with a multimeter, conducted wire is one set.

    • Identified the A and B group, connect one group to OUT1A, OUT1B, another group connects to OUT2A, OUT2B.

Application

Program download

Test program:File:Program Test A3906.zip

A3906 contorl two DB motors

  • Use Microduino core and Microduino A3906's control function;
  • Prepared hardware: Microduino FT232R、Microduino Core, Microduino A3906, two DC motors, 2.5~9V power;
  • Prepared software: Microduino provides test program(Arduino part), Arduino IDE(1.0 release or upper);
  • Start Arduino IED,open the Microduino test program, board type choose "Microduino Core (Atmega328P@16M,5V)", download directly;

Microduino core and Microduino A3906 connected Pegboard:

  • Set up the circuit on pegboard as following picture: (blue line at the bottom)


Pegboard connection
  • Microduino A3906 drive DC motor test:
    • Connect 5V or 9V power, motor can't rotate at the intial state:
    • Start Arduino IED serial monitor
      • Input 0000, enter, two motors don't rotate
      • Input 0101, enter, Two motors forward
      • Input 0110, enter, one motor forward, another backward
      • Input 1001, enter, one motor backward, another forward
      • Input 1010, enter, two motors backward
      • Input 1111, enter, two motors stop
