6. Setup and Installation

This section outlines the basic steps to connect and prepare your flexman Vibration Motor Module for use.

6.1 Pin Connections

1. Connect VCC: Connect the VCC pin of the module to the positive (+) power supply output of your microcontroller or power source. Ensure the voltage is between 3.0V and 5.3V DC.
2. Connect GND: Connect the GND pin of the module to the ground (-) of your power supply and microcontroller.
3. Connect IN: Connect the IN pin of the module to a digital output pin on your microcontroller (e.g., Arduino, Raspberry Pi). This pin will receive the control signal.

7. Operating Instructions

The flexman Vibration Motor Module is controlled by a digital signal applied to its IN pin.

7.1 Basic Operation (On/Off)

• To activate the vibration motor, send a HIGH (logic 1) signal to the IN pin.
• To stop the vibration motor, send a LOW (logic 0) signal to the IN pin.

7.2 Controlling Vibration Intensity (PWM)

The module supports Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) for controlling the vibration intensity. By varying the duty cycle of the signal sent to the IN pin, you can adjust how strongly the motor vibrates.

• A higher duty cycle (e.g., 255 for an 8-bit PWM) will result in stronger vibration.
• A lower duty cycle (e.g., 0 for an 8-bit PWM) will result in no vibration or very weak vibration.
• Consult your microcontroller's documentation for specific PWM implementation details (e.g., analogWrite() function in Arduino).

8. Maintenance

The flexman Vibration Motor Module is designed for durability and requires minimal maintenance.

• Keep the module clean and free from dust and debris. Use a soft, dry brush or compressed air if necessary.
• Avoid physical impact or excessive force on the motor or circuit board.
• Store the module in a dry, cool environment when not in use.
