The DRV2605 from TI is a fancy little motor driver. Rather than controlling a stepper motor or DC motor, it’s designed specifically for controlling haptic motors—buzzers and vibration motors. Normally, one would just turn those kinds of motors on and off, but this driver has the ability to have various effects when driving a vibe motor. For example, it can ramp the vibration level up and down, create ‘click’ effects, change buzzer levels, or even have the vibration follow a musical/audio input.
This chip is controlled over I2C – after initialization, a ‘string’ of multiple effects can be strung together in the chips’ memory and then triggered to actuate in a row. The built-in effects are much much nicer than just ‘on’ and ‘off’ and will make your haptic project a way nicer feeling.
Features:
- Advanced control for haptic motors with diverse effects.
- Supports ramping, clicks, and varying buzzer levels.
- Enables audio-responsive vibration for unique feedback.
- I2C interface simplifies integration with controllers.
- Built-in memory stores sequences for smooth actuation.
- Enhances user experience with precise haptic feedback.
