Hello everyone!
I am currently reaching you because I am developing a project at University of Lisbon and I am considering using your LilyPad vibration motor. However, I have 2 questions that I was not able to clarify by reading the documentation available. Therefore, I contact you hoping that you could enlighten me.
Firstly, it is really important to us to know the range of vibration frequencies in which the motor operates.
Secondly, we have some drives available, namely TOSHIBA TB6612FNG. Do you think that there is any incompatibility issues when connecting with your device?
Thanks in advance!
Not sure what the low end is, but the datasheet for the motor lists 12k, which I believe is the max ‘RPM’
There shouldn’t be any problem, as the volts/amps for the tb66 are rated higher than the vibe boards…it looks like a PWM of ~130 is when the vibe should begin shaking LilyPad Vibe Board Hookup Guide - SparkFun Learn
Hello!
Thank you for your reply.
We were surprised to see the documentation that you sent us, since we have only found online the one I am sending you attached to this message.
In the documentation that we had, it says that the LilyPad Vibe Board operates at 5 V. The one you sent us says that the motor operates at 3 V. Which one is correct?
Furthermore, we are not sure what is the board that is shown in the image of the documentation from MOUSER Electronics, and why it is not in the documentation that you sent us in the previous message.
Thank you
Regards

They are both right…the BOARD runs 3.3-5v and, the MOTOR runs at 2.5-3.8v…
The board has a regulator that takes 3.3-5v and turns it into 3.3v which it then pushes to the motor
