SparkFun TB6612 Motor Module

Hi,

Anyone with the pre-designed .fzz file of SparkFun TB6612 Motor Module for ESP or Arduino kindly share please.

A part appears to be in the Sparkfun Fritzing repo on github at

specifically this one:

14451_14450_sfe_motor_driver-dual_TB6612FNG_v11.fzpz

download the .fzpz file and load it in to Fritzing via File->open->14451_14450_sfe_motor_driver-dual_TB6612FNG_v11.fzpz and it will appear in your mine parts bin ready to be dragged in to a sketch.

Thank you Peter, I was looking for a tb6612 file and you not only provide one but clearly show how to load it into Fritzing. I am impressed.

Can I just add that the pins don’t lock onto the holes in any of the breadboards but that can easily be remedied by right clicking on the item in the parts list and going to parts editor.
Click on each of the pins in turn and click on the male symbol on the line ‘type’ below the description box. Saving then allows the item to automatically connect to the rows on breadboards.

It appears for reasons unknown (most likely inexperience) that Sparkfun set the pins to female rather than male which is required to connect to the breadboard. Your solution is the correct one. You may want to see if Sparkfun will accept a pull request in the part to update their repository.

I have already been in touch with their support about altering the file, they have not replied yet but they usually do when I contact them. I only did it last night so they have time, they are usually quite good.

I believe they have lost their Fritzing expert some years ago, so they may be reluctant to make changes if they don’t have a new expert but see how it goes.

I detailed how to do it so I am sure if I can do it they must be able to find someone or something that can.

Did someone got this module:

The pins are different, but size is similar?

This part should do what you want.
