Code in arduino IDE for Brushed motor connected with Mini Motor driver V1

Hi there,
So that is for a samd21 or seeduino, compiles fine.
I would try this one, and it compiles for ESP32C3 aok.
it’s for an 8835 motor which is newer. But will still work.

#include <DRV8835MotorShield.h>

/*
 * This example uses the DRV8835MotorShield library to drive each motor with the
 * Pololu DRV8835 Dual Motor Driver Shield for Arduino forward, then backward. 
 * The yellow user LED is on when a motor is set to a positive speed and off when
 * a motor is set to a negative speed.
 */

#define LED_PIN 13

DRV8835MotorShield motors;

void setup()
{
  pinMode(LED_PIN, OUTPUT);
  
  // uncomment one or both of the following lines if your motors' directions need to be flipped
  //motors.flipM1(true);
  //motors.flipM2(true);
}

void loop()
{
  // run M1 motor with positive speed
  
  digitalWrite(LED_PIN, HIGH);
  
  for (int speed = 0; speed <= 400; speed++)
  {
    motors.setM1Speed(speed);
    delay(2);
  }

  for (int speed = 400; speed >= 0; speed--)
  {
    motors.setM1Speed(speed);
    delay(2);
  }
  
  // run M1 motor with negative speed
  
  digitalWrite(LED_PIN, LOW);
  
  for (int speed = 0; speed >= -400; speed--)
  {
    motors.setM1Speed(speed);
    delay(2);
  }
  
  for (int speed = -400; speed <= 0; speed++)
  {
    motors.setM1Speed(speed);
    delay(2);
  }

  // run M2 motor with positive speed
  
  digitalWrite(LED_PIN, HIGH);
  
  for (int speed = 0; speed <= 400; speed++)
  {
    motors.setM2Speed(speed);
    delay(2);
  }

  for (int speed = 400; speed >= 0; speed--)
  {
    motors.setM2Speed(speed);
    delay(2);
  }
  
  // run M2 motor with negative speed
  
  digitalWrite(LED_PIN, LOW);
  
  for (int speed = 0; speed >= -400; speed--)
  {
    motors.setM2Speed(speed);
    delay(2);
  }
  
  for (int speed = -400; speed <= 0; speed++)
  {
    motors.setM2Speed(speed);
    delay(2);
  }
  
  delay(500);
}

add the lib and it rolls right along, HTH

:v:

here is the link , these POLOlu guys have cornered the market on this stuff. Check it out.
