Hi
I am tryimg to control 2 motos with TB6612FNG Dual Motor Driver Carrier and Rasberry Pi 5. I am connecting everything accordnig to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3LBiyBTnt7g&t=1169s but i get no voltage on Vcc output, so the Rpi 5 doesn’t power. I checked batteries and they are fine, i also connected the driver to Rpi without Vcc output (powering separately) and everything works as planned. I guess there may be some problem with the driver itself, but I have 2 of those and both have the same problem.
Hello.
The VCC pin on our TB6612FNG carrier is not an output, it is an input to power the logic side of the carrier. So, the connection from the Raspberry Pi’s 3.3V pin is to power the TB6612FNG carrier’s VCC input (not the other way around). You will still need to power the Raspberry Pi separately form an appropriate source.
