Helpers for controlling PWM based motors and servos

Introduction

This helper library provides higher level objects to control motors and servos based on one or more PWM outputs.

The PWM outputs can be any object that have a 16-bit duty_cycle attribute. Its assumed that the frequency has already been configured appropriately. (Typically 50hz for servos and 1600hz for motors.)

Dependencies

This driver depends on:

• Adafruit CircuitPython

Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem. This is easily achieved by downloading the Adafruit library and driver bundle.

Installing from PyPI

On supported GNU/Linux systems like the Raspberry Pi, you can install the driver locally from PyPI. To install for current user:

pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-motor

To install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):

sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-motor

To install in a virtual environment in your current project:

mkdir project-name && cd project-name
python3 -m venv .env
source .env/bin/activate
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-motor
