Hardware Overview

How does it work?

Vibro Motor 3 Click is based on the G0832022D, a 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 G0832022D draws only 19mA at 0.6V while producing a G force of 0.55 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. Driven by the DRV2605, a flexible Haptic/Vibra driver from Texas Instruments, this Click board™ is designed to provide highly flexible haptic control over a standard I2C 2-Wire interface with a maximum clock frequency of 400kHz. It possesses an enabling function, routed on the CS pin

of the mikroBUS™ socket labeled as the EN, and comes up with an extensive integrated library of over 100 licensed effects that eliminates the need to design haptics waveforms. It also contains a smart-loop architecture, which allows effortless auto resonant drive for LRA motor drive. This feedback provides automatic overdrive and braking, which creates a simplified input waveform paradigm, reliable motor control, and consistent motor performance. 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. In PWM Mode, the vibration strength is controlled by the duty cycle, and

for the LRA motor, the DRV2605 automatically tracks the resonance frequency unless the LRA_OPEN_LOOP bit in register 0x1D is set. If the LRA_OPEN_LOOP bit is set, then the LRA motor is driven according to the frequency of the PWM input signal. More information about the operating modes of the DRV2605 can be found in the attached datasheet. This Click board™ can operate with either 3.3V or 5V logic voltage levels selected via the VCC SEL jumper. This way, both 3.3V and 5V capable MCUs can use the communication lines properly. Also, this 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.

Features overview

Development board

Fusion for TIVA v8 is a development board specially designed for the needs of rapid development of embedded applications. It supports a wide range of microcontrollers, such as different 32-bit ARM® Cortex®-M based MCUs from Texas Instruments, regardless of their number of pins, and a broad set of unique functions, such as the first-ever embedded debugger/programmer over a WiFi network. The development board is well organized and designed so that the end-user has all the necessary elements, such as switches, buttons, indicators, connectors, and others, in one place. Thanks to innovative manufacturing technology, Fusion for TIVA v8 provides a fluid and immersive working experience, allowing access

anywhere and under any circumstances at any time. Each part of the Fusion for TIVA v8 development board contains the components necessary for the most efficient operation of the same board. An advanced integrated CODEGRIP programmer/debugger module offers many valuable programming/debugging options, including support for JTAG, SWD, and SWO Trace (Single Wire Output)), and seamless integration with the Mikroe software environment. Besides, it also includes a clean and regulated power supply module for the development board. It can use a wide range of external power sources, including a battery, an external 12V power supply, and a power source via the USB Type-C (USB-C) connector.

Communication options such as USB-UART, USB HOST/DEVICE, CAN (on the MCU card, if supported), and Ethernet is also included. In addition, it also has the well-established mikroBUS™ standard, a standardized socket for the MCU card (SiBRAIN standard), and two display options for the TFT board line of products and character-based LCD. Fusion for TIVA v8 is an integral part of the Mikroe ecosystem for rapid development. Natively supported by Mikroe software tools, it covers many aspects of prototyping and development thanks to a considerable number of different Click boards™ (over a thousand boards), the number of which is growing every day.

Application Output

1. Application Output - In Debug mode, the 'Application Output' window enables real-time data monitoring, offering direct insight into execution results. Ensure proper data display by configuring the environment correctly using the provided tutorial.

2. UART Terminal - Use the UART Terminal to monitor data transmission via a USB to UART converter, allowing direct communication between the Click board™ and your development system. Configure the baud rate and other serial settings according to your project's requirements to ensure proper functionality. For step-by-step setup instructions, refer to the provided tutorial.

3. Plot Output - The Plot feature offers a powerful way to visualize real-time sensor data, enabling trend analysis, debugging, and comparison of multiple data points. To set it up correctly, follow the provided tutorial, which includes a step-by-step example of using the Plot feature to display Click board™ readings. To use the Plot feature in your code, use the function: plot(*insert_graph_name*, variable_name);. This is a general format, and it is up to the user to replace 'insert_graph_name' with the actual graph name and 'variable_name' with the parameter to be displayed.
