Motor control PIM617

Hi,

I’m just starting out and I guess this is a basic question, but I’m trying to use the PIM617 motor shim to control a single motor from a raspberry pico. Following the example on the Pimoroni shop links looked like a good place to start, but it is calling in a class/library from ‘motor’ and I can’t see where this is taken from. Do I need to find a repository for this? Is there a package I need to install first?

What uf2 file was the Pico flashed with? And what model Pico is it?
The custom Pimoroni uf2 files have extra features added for use with their Products.

If you flash our custom MicroPython build to your board the motor library should be built in. You can download it from here:

And the documentation for the motor library can be found here:

Hi thanks for the feedback, yes I had jumped from the product page to the sample code bypassing the how to get started page.

Hi,

Yes I spotted the how to get started page late last night but I hadn’t fully read it. I had just followed the links to sample code from the product page. Still got a bit of work to do, not working yet, but at least the sound module is still working and I don’t get that error now. Thanks for the quick feedback.
