The Vibro Motor 2 Click Board™ features a compact size Eccentric Rotating Mass (ERM) motor, labelled as Z4FC1B1301781 as well as DMG3420U MOSFET to drive the ERM motor since the MCU itself cannot provide enough power for the motor driving. This type of motor is often used for haptic feedback on many small handheld devices, such as cellphones, pagers, RFID scanners and similar devices. This motor contains a small eccentric weight on its rotor, so while rotating it also produces a vibration effect. This kind of motor is sometimes referred to as a coin motor, due to its shape.

Besides the vibration motor, the click is also equipped with the DMG3420U, a small MOSFET, which is used to drive the motor. The Vibro Motor 2 Click Board™ is an ideal solution for adding simple, one pin-driven haptic feedback to any design.

How Does The Vibro Motor 2 Click Board™ Work?

The Vibro Motor 2 Click Board™ features a compact size Eccentric Rotating Mass (ERM) motor, labeled as Z4FC1B1301781. The click uses the DMG3420U MOSFET to drive the ERM motor, since the MCU itself cannot provide enough power for the motor driving. The circuit also contains a protection diode, which is used to protect the transistor from the reverse voltage, since the motor represents an inductive load and turning off its current can produce a kickback voltage that can damage the transistor.

Click Boards HMI Vibro Motor 2 click

The gate of the MOSFET is driven by the PWM signal, routed through the PWM pin of the mikroBUS™. The PWM signal toggles the gate of the MOSFET with the pulses of a certain width. As a result, the current through the motor is varied depending on the pulse width of the PWM signal, which directly affects the speed of the motor, effectively controlling the vibration force that way. The small, eccentric weight attached to the rotor of the coin motor, generates the centrifugal force while it rotates, which in turn results with the wobbling effect of the motor itself. The faster the rotation is, the bigger the force gets. Controlling the motor speed allows for the vibration intensity to be controlled.

MikroElektronika library contains functions that are used to easily drive the motor by changing the PWM pulse width, saving time for the application firmware development.

Software Support

We provide a library for the Vibro Motor 2 Click Board™ on our LibStock page, as well as a demo application (example), developed using MikroElektronika compilers. The demo can run on all the main MikroElektronika development boards.

Library Description

This library helps user to define the all necessary GPIOs to control vibro motor. The Vibro Motor 2 Click Board™ user only needs PWM pin on MIKROBUS. For more details check documentation.

Key Functions

void vm2_gpioDriverInit( T_VM2_P gpioObj ); - This function initializes GPIO driver.

Example Description

The application is composed of three sections :

System Initialization - Initializes peripherals and pins.
Application Initialization - Initializes GPIO driver and PWM. Configures PWM to 20kHz frequency, calculates maximum duty ratio and starts PWM with duty ratio value 0.
Application Task - (code snippet) - Allows user to enter desired command to control Vibro Motor 2 Click board. The command can be entered from the serial port. The possible commands are :
- characters from '1' to '9' to set duty ratio step (step = character * 5)
- character '0' to set duty ratio step on value 100
- character '+' to increment current duty ratio by selected step
- character '-' to decrement current duty ratio by selected step
- characters 'e' and 'E' to start Vibro Motor 2
- characters 'd' and 'D' to stop Vibro Motor 2
- characters 's' and 'S' to check Vibro Motor 2 (PWM) status

void applicationTask()
{
 rx_dat = UART_Rdy_Ptr();
 if (rx_dat != _RX_NOT_READY)
 {
 rx_dat = UART_Rd_Ptr();
 checkRx();
 }
}

Additional Functions :

checkRx - Executes the command (entered by user) processing.

The full application code, and ready to use projects can be found on our LibStock page.

Other mikroE Libraries used in the example:

Conversions
C_String
PWM
UART

Additional Notes and Information

Depending on the development board you are using, you may need USB UART click, USB UART 2 click or RS232 click to connect to your PC, for development systems with no UART to USB interface available on the board. The terminal available in all MikroElektronika compilers, or any other terminal application of your choice, can be used to read the message.

MIKROSDK

The Vibro Motor 2 Click Board™ is supported with mikroSDK - MikroElektronika Software Development Kit. To ensure proper operation of mikroSDK compliant Click board™ demo applications, mikroSDK should be downloaded from the LibStock and installed for the compiler you are using.
