I plan on turning them on sequentially. Do I need a diode?
// Define motor control pins
const int threePin = 3; // Pin connected to "Three" motor's control transistor or driver
const int fourPin = 4; // Pin connected to "Four" motor's control transistor or driver
const int fivePin = 5; // Pin connected to "Five" motor's control transistor or driver
const int sixPin = 6; // Pin connected to "Six" motor's control transistor or driver
const int sevenPin = 7; // Pin connected to "Seven" motor's control transistor or driver
const int eightPin = 8; // Pin connected to "Eight" motor's control transistor or driver
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
// Initialize digital pins as outputs
pinMode(threePin, OUTPUT);
pinMode(fourPin, OUTPUT);
pinMode(fivePin, OUTPUT);
pinMode(sixPin, OUTPUT);
pinMode(sevenPin, OUTPUT);
pinMode(eightPin, OUTPUT);
// Ensure all motors are off initially
digitalWrite(threePin, LOW);
digitalWrite(fourPin, LOW);
digitalWrite(fivePin, LOW);
digitalWrite(sixPin, LOW);
digitalWrite(sevenPin, LOW);
digitalWrite(eightPin, LOW);
}
void loop() {
// Sequentially activate each motor for testing
activateMotor(threePin); // Activate motor connected to the "Three" pin
activateMotor(fourPin); // Activate motor connected to the "Four" pin
activateMotor(fivePin); // Activate motor connected to the "Five" pin
activateMotor(sixPin); // Activate motor connected to the "Six" pin
activateMotor(sevenPin); // Activate motor connected to the "Seven" pin
activateMotor(eightPin); // Activate motor connected to the "Eight" pin
}
// Function to activate a motor at the specified pin
void activateMotor(int motorPin) {
Serial.print("Activating motor on pin: ");
Serial.println(motorPin);
digitalWrite(motorPin, HIGH); // Turn motor on
delay(1000); // Keep it on for 1 second
digitalWrite(motorPin, LOW); // Turn motor off
delay(500); // Wait for 0.5 seconds before next activation
}
Yes you need a diode.
Your wiring diagram has a few mistakes. The base resistor isn't connected.
You can't power 6 of those motors from the Uno 5V output, you will need a separate power supply
Which transistor do you plan on using?
Thank you for your reply.
It is a 2222A331 transistor
Can the separate power supply be the one from the arduino?
Oh, no, that's not how they are connected, but thank you for the diagram, I will try it like that
That is an INPUT NOT and OUTPUT
You will need a 5V 1A power supply, maybe a plug in wall adaptor type.
ohh alright,good to know. I'm very beginner on this
Thanks so much for the suggestion, will look that up
Did I see a DC motor driver module suggested as a driver for DC vibration motors?
ohh i think I have one
maybe
What I want to know if it is a 2222 or a 3904 because the pins are in different orders
