Joy-it MOTORINO User manual

MOTORINO
Motor controll for Arduino
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
Dear customer,
thank you for choosing our product. In the following, we will show you how to
use your product.
Should you encounter any unexpected problems during use, please do not
hesitate to contact us.
The Motorino board is an expansion board for the controll and application
of up to 16 PWM controlled 5 V servo motors. The board must be additionally
supplied with a voltage from 4.8 to 6 V that the supply of the motors is ensured
at any time. That way it is also possible that greater projects can be supplied
with enough power.
It is for example perfect to control the JOY-IT robot arm.

2. TECHNICAL DETAILS & SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The Motorino expansion board is equipped with 16 channels for
5V-servomotors as well as with a connection possibility for one additional
capacitor. The power supply can be either supplied with a coaxial power
connector or with a voltage supply, both from 4.8 to 6 V.
The Motorino board possesses additionally a crystal oscillator to rene
frequencies as accurately as possible and to minimise deviations as little as
possible.
Art-No.: Robot02
high-quality robot arm made of
aluminium with pivoted rotary
plate and accommodation for
motor control /
singleboard-computer
powered by 6 pieces of 20 kilo
digital servomotor

On the backside of the board can be read a
numeration of channels.
The 3 PINs of each channel are read buttom-up for
the connection of the ground line, voltage line and
the signal line [GND | V+ | PWM].
Plug the board on the PINs of your Arduino and
the cable of your 5 V servo motors at the channel
PINs.
An additional voltage supply via a cable or a 5V
coaxial power connector is for the operation
mandatory.
To prevent abrupt voltage drops is the board
euipped with a capacitor. But should this in
special exceptions not be suiecient enough
then an additional capacitor can be connected in
parallel at the provided connection.

Your power supply must be adjusted of its performance at your connected
motors because insuiecently dimensioned power supplies can be regonized
that the motors are jerking instead of a owing movement.
We recommend the application of our 4.8 A power supply RB-Netzteil2 which
oers a continuous output of 24 W.
Aer you plugged in the expansion board on your Arduino, the connection of
an additional power supply and the connection of servo motors, the board is
ready to use.

saey instruction:
To prevent a reserve polarity, note the identiers on the board of each inputs
(+ and - symbol). A reserve polarity can cause damage to your board, the
connected Arduino and other peripherials!
The connected motors and their generated movement can be a danger. We
recommend of having adequate safety distance or rather to take measures
that no one encounters moving parts.
3. ESTABLISHMENT OF THE ARDUINO
Aer you plugged in the expansion board on your Arduino Uno, the connection
of an additional power supply and the connection of servo motors, the board
is ready to use.
It can be used as the power supply a 5 V coaxial power connector as well as a
voltage from 4.8 up to 6 V from the provided input.
The soware example from chapter 4 shows the fundamental functions and
applications of the servo motors with the Motorino. The servo motors can be
connected with an arbitrary channel. The example controlls each channel one
aer another and uses the exhaustive range of motion of the servo motors. As
a matter of course is it possible to adjust and change the example aer your
purposes and requirements.
Upload the complete sample code on your Arduino.
Note that you have to download the additional libraries rst into your Arduino
library management. The necessary steps can you read in the following. Also
note that for the application of the example it has to be downloaded the
additional library Wire from the library data base.
Because our Motorino board is equipped with an additional crystal oscillator
for which is a special library needed as well. This is based on the Adafruit-PWM-
Servo-Driver-Library, which is particular adjusted at your board.
We recommend using only our modied library.
This library can be downloaded with the following link.
http://cloud.joy-it.net/index.php/s/dugsbHDtye59owY

Open like in the follwing picture the Arduino library management to install the
Wire library.
Aer that the library mangaement opens, search for Wire library and install it.

Next step is to add the modied library aer you already downloaded it.
Unzip rst the downloaded archive and copy it in the le Adafruit-PWM-Servo-
Driver-Library-master in the following register:
C:\Users\[your user name]\Documents\Arduino\libraries
The libraries are now installed completely.
4. INSTALLATION OF THE MODULE
Now you can execute the example le to test the Motorino board. You can nd
this le in the following register:
Open the there the le with your Arduino programm and transfer it fully to
your Arduino. The example program will activate all servo channales one aer
another.
C:\Users\[your user name]\Documents\Arduino\libraries\Adafruit_PWM_Servo_Driver_Library\examples\servo
5.ESTABLISHMENT OF THE I2C-ADRESS
It is also possible to connect various Motorino boards. In doing so, you have to
note that each board needs its own I2C adress. To congurate this , the jumper
can be soldered. A open jumper means therefore a 0 in the address and a
closed jumper an 1.
