Adafruit DRV2605L Haptic Motor Controller

The Adafruit DRV2605L Haptic Motor Controller is a dedicated driver for haptic feedback motors, controlled via I2C. Rather than simple on/off control, the TI DRV2605L chip offers a library of over 100 built-in vibration effects — clicks, ramps, buzzes, and patterns — that create far more refined tactile feedback for your projects.

Multiple effects can be queued in the chip's internal memory and triggered in sequence. The controller supports both LRA (Linear Resonance Actuator) and ERM (Eccentric Rotating Mass) motor types, and works with 3V and 5V power/logic levels. Compatible with CircuitPython and Arduino libraries.
