Welcome to 4-Channel Motor Drive Module repository
For RPi5
Drive motor and read encoder-USART
1.1 Explanation
Please read 《0. Motor introduction and usage》first to understand the motor parameters, wiring method, and power supply voltage you are currently using. To avoid improper operation and damage to the driver board or motor.
I2C and serial communication cannot be shared, only one can be selected.
Hardware wiring:
When Raspberry Pi 5 board and driver board use serial port communication, just connect the USB port on the mainboard to the TYPE-C port on the 4-channel motor driver board.
| Motor | 4-channel motor driver board(Motor) |
|---|---|
| M2 | M- |
| V | 3V3 |
| A | H1A |
| B | H1B |
| G | GND |
| M1 | M+ |
1.2 Instructions
After the Raspberry Pi 5 board is connected to the USB of the driver board, you can use the following command to check whether the serial port is recognized.
ls /dev/ttyUSB*
In normally, /dev/ttyUSB0 will be displayed. If there is no ttyUSB0 but ttyUSB1, you need to change port='/dev/ttyUSB0' at the beginning of the code to port='/dev/ttyUSB1'
Then, use file transfer software, such as WinSCP, which needs to be searched and downloaded by yourself.
Transfer the py file to the root directory of the RDK board through the software, then open the terminal and run the command.

Set 1 to the total number of encoder pulses and 2 to the real-time pulse data of 10ms.
MOTOR_TYPE: used to set the type of motor used. Just modify the corresponding numbers according to the comments according to the motor you are currently using. You don’t need to modify the rest of the code.
If you need to drive the motor and observe the data, just modify the two numbers at the beginning of the program. No changes are required to the rest of the code.

This is used to store the parameters of the Yahboom motor. By modifying the MOTOR_TYPE parameter above, one-click configuration can be achieved.
In normally, do not modify the code here when using the Yahboom motor.
If you are using your own motor, or if a certain data needs to be modified according to your needs, you can check the course《1.2 Control command》 to understand the specific meaning of each command.

while True: received_message = receive_data() # 接收消息 Receiving Messages if received_message: # 如果有数据返回 If there is data returned parsed = parse_data(received_message) # 解析数据 Parsing the data if parsed: print(parsed) # 打印解析后的数据 Print the parsed data

if t> 1000 or t < -1000: t = 0
time.sleep(0.1)
In the loop program, the speed of the four motors will be slowly increased from 0 to 1000. If the motor type is 4, that is, the motor without encoder, the motor's PWM is directly controlled.
At the same time, the data sent by the driver board is read and printed out at the same time.
xxxxxxxxxxdef parse_data(data): data = data.strip() # 去掉两端的空格或换行符 Remove spaces or line breaks at both ends
if data.startswith("$MAll:"): values_str = data[6:-1] # 去除 "$MAll:" 和 "#" Remove "$MAll:" and "#" values = list(map(int, values_str.split(','))) # 分割并转换为整数 Split and convert to integer parsed = ', '.join([f"M{i+1}:{value}" for i, value in enumerate(values)]) return parsed elif data.startswith("$MTEP:"): values_str = data[6:-1] values = list(map(int, values_str.split(','))) parsed = ', '.join([f"M{i+1}:{value}" for i, value in enumerate(values)]) return parsed elif data.startswith("$MSPD:"): values_str = data[6:-1] values = [float(value) if '.' in value else int(value) for value in values_str.split(',')] parsed = ', '.join([f"M{i+1}:{value}" for i, value in enumerate(values)]) return parsed
The saved original data is extracted and reconstructed into a new printing format.
1.4 Experimental phenomenon
After connecting the type-c port on the driver board to the USB port on the motherboard, place the program in the root directory and run the command sudo python ~/USART.py. You can see that the motor will gradually speed up, then stop, and repeat.
At the same time, you can see the printed motor value in the terminal constantly changing.
