The Vibro Motor 4 Click Board™ is a compact add-on board that makes an ideal solution for adding simple haptic feedback in any design. This board features the G1040003D, a coin-sized linear resonant actuator (LRA) that generates vibration/haptic feedback from Jinlong Machinery & Electronics, Inc. Driven by a flexible Haptic/Vibra driver, the DRV2605, G1040003D vibrates in the Z-axis, which is perpendicular to the face of the vibration motor. It draws a maximum of 170mA while producing the highest G force/vibration energy of 2 GRMS.
The Vibro Motor 4 Click Board™ makes an excellent choice for devices with limited battery capacity and for users who require crisp haptic feedback and low power consumption.
How Does The Vibro Motor 4 Click Board™ Work?
The Vibro Motor 4 Click Board™ as its foundation uses the G1040003D, coin-sized linear resonant actuator that generates vibration/haptic feedback in the Z plane perpendicular to the motor's surface from Jinlong Machinery & Electronics, Inc. The G1040003D draws a typical 145mA while producing a G force of 2 GRMS and makes an excellent choice for applications requiring crisp haptic feedback and low power consumption. For haptic feedback applications, fast rise and fall times are critical for achieving the optimal user experience. That's why the rise time (50% power) of the G1040003D, which is 10ms, and its fall time (10% power) of 50ms makes it one of the best choices for haptic feedback applications.

Additionally, the DRV2605 can also operate in the PWM Mode and accept the PWM signal from the PWM pin of the mikroBUS™ socket. In this mode, the DRV2605 device drives the actuator continuously until the user sets the DRV2605 to a Standby Mode or enters another interface mode. More information about the operating modes of the DRV2605 can be found in the attached datasheet.
The Vibro Motor 4 Click Board™ can operate with both 3.3V and 5V logic voltage levels selected via the VCC SEL jumper. This way, it is allowed for both 3.3V and 5V capable MCUs to use the I2C communication lines properly. However, the Click board™ comes equipped with a library containing easy-to-use functions and an example code that can be used, as a reference, for further development.

The package can be downloaded/installed directly from NECTO Studio Package Manager(recommended way), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on Mikroe GitHub account.
Library Description
This library contains an API for the Vibro Motor 4 Click Board™ driver.
Key Functions
vibromotor4_cfg_setup- Config Object Initialization function.vibromotor4_init- Initialization function.vibromotor4_default_cfg- Click Default Configuration function.
Example Description
This library contains an API for Vibro Motor 4 Click driver. The library initializes and defines the I2C bus drivers to write and read data from registers and the PWM module.
void application_task ( void )
{
static int8_t duty_cnt = 0;
static int8_t duty_inc = 1;
float duty = duty_cnt / 10.0;
vibromotor4_set_duty_cycle ( &vibromotor4, duty );
log_printf( &logger, "> Duty: %d%%rn", ( uint16_t )( duty_cnt * 10 ) );
Delay_ms( 1000 );
if ( 5 == duty_cnt ) {
duty_inc = -1;
} else if ( 0 == duty_cnt ) {
duty_inc = 1;
}
duty_cnt += duty_inc;
}

Additional Notes and Information
Depending on the development board you are using, you may need a 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 4 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.
