SparkFun Qwiic Haptic Driver - DA7280

The SparkFun Qwiic Haptic Driver pairs a compact Linear Resonant Actuator (LRA) vibration motor with Dialog Semiconductor's DA7280 motor driver IC for projects that require haptic feedback. Control the vibration motor via I²C, PWM, or a combination of three general-purpose input pins.

Qwiic connectors allow solderless I²C connection, while 0.1″-spaced PTH pads provide breadboard access to the I²C, power, interrupt, and GP input pins.

Key Features

• DA7280 Haptic Driver – Supports I²C, PWM, and GPI control modes
• Built-In LRA Motor – Compact linear resonant actuator included on-board
• 2× Qwiic Ports – Daisy-chainable I²C connection (no soldering required)
• Breadboard-Friendly – 0.1″ PTH pads for I²C, power, interrupt, and GPI pins
• Interrupt Pin – Notification when haptic sequences complete

Ideal For

• Physical feedback indicators for event-triggered notifications
• Robotics and remote control vibration alerts
• Wearable devices and posture correction reminders
• Proximity-based haptic alerts
