Public Member Functions
	DRV8871Driver (uint8_t in1, uint8_t in2)
	Constructor function which initializes the motor driver.
void	driveMotor (uint8_t speed, bool dir)
	Function which drives the motor at a specified speed and direction.
void	coastMotor (void)
	Coast motor to stop - lets the motor spin down by itself.

Detailed Description

A class to add basic functions for DRV8871 Motor Driver.

This class enables drive, coast, and brake functions for a DRV8871 motor driver. It uses PWM for speed control and a digital pin for direction control. This class uses 8 bit PWM resolution, so speed values should be integers from 0 to 255.

Template Parameters

in1	PWM output pin (uses analogWrite)
in2	Direction pin (uses digitalWrite)

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

DRV8871Driver()

DRV8871Driver::DRV8871Driver	(	uint8_t	in1,
		uint8_t	in2 )

Constructor function which initializes the motor driver.

Parameters

in1	PWM output pin
in2	Direction pin

Member Function Documentation

driveMotor()

void DRV8871Driver::driveMotor	(	uint8_t	speed,
		bool	dir )

Function which drives the motor at a specified speed and direction.

Parameters

speed	unsigned speed value. Range: 0 to max based on resolution
dir	Direction (true/false) written to the direction pin
