Description

Add this shim and magnetic disc to your micro metal gearmotor to upgrade it into a super smart encoder motor! Solder this board to the back of a micro metal gearmotor, push the magnetic disc onto the end of the motor shaft and tada - you have a quadrature encoder motor using Hall Effect sensors and magnetic discs to provide your microcontroller with feedback on speed and rotation.

Once attached, connect to a controller board like Motor 2040 using a convenient 6 pin JST cable. This setup is easy to integrate into robotics designs with straightforward connection/disconnection capabilities.

Kit includes

  • 2 x Micro Metal Motor Encoder Shim (MMME)
  • 2 x 6 pole magnetic discs

Note: Motors and cables are not included, but available separately.

Assembly Instructions

  • Solder motor contacts to the shim pads, ensuring correct polarity (positive to positive pad).
  • Slot magnetic disc onto rear motor shaft, leaving a small gap (<1mm) between disc and sensors. Magnet side with dots should face away from motor.

Additional Notes

  • Connector pinout: M+, M-, 3v3, A, B, GND
  • Regular variant: connector exiting bottom of motor. Sideways variant: connector on short side of motor.
