Hardware Setup

The DC Motor Control HAT with TLE94112ES follows the Raspberry Pi HAT specification and can be stacked onto any 40-pin Raspberry Pi.

  • Stack the DC Motor Control HAT onto the Raspberry Pi.
  • Connect a 5.5 to 20V power supply to the Vcc and GND pin of the DC Motor Control HAT
  • Connect a DC Motor or another load of your choice to output 1 and 5 of the controller

Note :warning: : Make sure to connect the power supply only to the designated inputs of your DC Motor Control HAT and that it doesn't exceed 20V. Otherwise your hardware can be damaged.

Raspberry Pi setup

Set up Raspberry Pi with Raspberry Pi OS or similar OS. Check this page for instructions.

You can access your Raspberry Pi either using a monitor and a keyboard or using SSH in a headless setup as described here.

Now insert the microSD card into your Raspberry Pi and turn on the power supply to boot it up. The Raspberry Pi will be powered by the DC Motor Control HAT.

Software Installation

Check out this section for details on installation of this multi half bridge library.

Ready To Go!

With everything ready, now we are going to run one of the library examples.

Change into the Raspberry Pi framework folder.
cd multi-half-bridge/src/framework/raspberrypi
Compile the example code.
make examples/basicTest
Run the example code.
../../../build/basicTest

Your load is now switched on and off by the DC Motor Control HAT.
