Arduino Uno with TB6612FNGG

[lostcreekstation]

Can anyone point me to an arduino sketch (copy and paste please) to use the Pololu TB6612FNG motor driver. As well as the wiring hook up for the arduino uno and TB6612FNG?
Thanks

Hello.

I know several people have posted about using that driver with Arduinos on our forum. Here is one example that might help you get started:

Problem: Motor A wont start until 128 PWM (Using: TB6612FNG)

Hi, I’m having trouble with my Motor driver, I’m using TB6612FNG. I’m constructing a line following robot, using two motors and a dual motor driver who takes in PWM values and a reflection sensor. This is how the setup looks like: [image] The setup is as simple as possible, driver inputs are connected from 0-6 and reflection sensor from 7-13. The arduino and motor are supplied by two different batteries; both 9 V. I’m using the same 5 V form the arduino for logic power of both the reflect…

Note that the connections and code as originally posted do not work right (that is why the person posted on the forum in the first place), but if you read all the way through the thread you will see the way to fix it. If you need more examples, please try searching our forum a bit more, and you might try searching the Arduino forum, too.

Here’s what I did to get mine working:

Ben, in the other forum post you linked to, you mentioned it would be better to use Pin 5 so that the frequencies are the same. Do you mean to use the same pin for both inputs?
