Add multiple Grove TB6612FNG drivers

simonyel commented 1 year ago

Describe the problem you have/What new integration you would like o Would love to ability to configure multiple instances of the driver boards

Please describe your use case for this integration and alternatives you've tried: I am making a chemical dispenser for my aquarium and need the ability to drive 4 pumps. To do this I would need two Grove TB6612FNG drivers. Currently, I don't see an option to configure multiples.

I will have a look :) I suppose you managed to change the address of each one, right?

simonyel commented 1 year ago

Does the same address matter when the controllers are on different buses?

Usually you would use the same i2c bus but with a different address. I am not sure the esp has two different i2c controllers and if that the case, I suppose you could setup at the moment without doing any changes.

simonyel commented 1 year ago

I'll change the address if it comes to that. Would that make the code change easier for you?

Right , what it can be done is :

void set_i2c_addr(uint8_t addr);

I can expose this as action and you would need to run the system once and trigger the action to change the address, you can have two on the same bus.

I can see here in the example of setup a new motor, you just going to copy and paste the block , change the address and id. https://esphome.io/components/grove_tb6612fng.html

simonyel commented 1 year ago

I got the address changed for my second driver via Arduino IDE. Now the driverA is at 0x14, and driverB is at 0x15. What's next?

max246 commented 1 year ago

Please take this as assumption since I dont have two motors board:

I would guess you will have to do something like

grove_tb6612fng:
    id: test_motor_a
    name: motor_outside
    address: 0x14

grove_tb6612fng:
    id: test_motor_b
    name: motor_outside
    address: 0x15

then when you control the motor you use the ID to identify which motor you want to control.

simonyel commented 1 year ago

You can't have duplicate grove_tb6612fng: keys, nor can I nest a list of them under a single entry.

simonyel commented 1 year ago

You can't have duplicate grove_tb6612fng: keys, nor can I nest a list of them under a single entry.

For instance. I can't do:

grove_tb6612fng:
  - id: driverA
    name: "Driver A"
    address: 0x14   
  - id: driverB
    name: "Driver B"  
    address: 0x15

or

grove_tb6612fng:
    id: test_motor_a
    address: 0x14

grove_tb6612fng:
    id: test_motor_b
    address: 0x15

simonyel commented 1 year ago

Any thoughts?

max246 commented 1 year ago

Sorry, got busy with work....

I talked to jess and I just need to add an extra parameter in the code to allow multi blocks.

I will make the change over the weekend, you might need to test my PR if you can

simonyel commented 1 year ago

I will gladly test and report back.

ok done it.

I have updated the doc and tested the code, it works.

Check the doc PR to understand how to setup a multi conf

https://github.com/esphome/esphome/pull/5492

simonyel commented 1 year ago

I tested the github://pr#5492, and it works as expected. I have two driver boards and 4 DC motors\peri-pumps. I was able to address and execute commands on each device. Start > Break >Stop.
