Adafruit DRV2605L Haptic Motor Controller - STEMMA QT / Qwiic

The DRV2605 from TI is a specialized motor driver designed for controlling haptic motors, such as buzzers and vibration motors. Unlike typical motor drivers that control stepper or DC motors, the DRV2605 enables you to create complex vibration effects. You can implement features like ramping vibration levels, click effects, and even sync vibrations to audio inputs, making your haptic projects feel much more dynamic and engaging.

Controlled via I2C, the DRV2605 allows you to string multiple effects together in its memory and trigger them sequentially. This provides a richer and more interactive experience compared to simple on/off control. While it supports both LRA (Linear Resonance Actuator) and ERM (Eccentric Rotating Mass) motors, it's especially effective with the smaller ERM pancake vibration motors we've tested.

Key Features:

• Designed for haptic feedback: Control buzzers and vibration motors with various effects.
• Multiple built-in effects: Including ramping vibrations, click effects, and audio sync.
• I2C control: Easily trigger effects in sequence via I2C communication.
• 3V to 5V compatible: Works with 3V or 5V microcontrollers like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and other development boards.
• Libraries available: Use it with Arduino (C/C++) or CircuitPython (Python 3) for easy integration.
• STEMMA QT connectors: Simplifies wiring with plug-and-play STEMMA QT compatibility, no soldering required.

This driver is perfect for projects requiring precise and dynamic tactile feedback, such as game controllers, wearable devices, and interactive props. With its straightforward I2C interface, you can easily add immersive haptic effects to your designs without the hassle of complicated motor control.
