Hello,
I'm fairly new to programming and microcontrollers so some of these questions may seem rather basic, but what I'm trying to do is get 20+ 3V coin vibration motors (model no. 310-113) to vibrate in different orders depending on a users input. Sometimes the output may need 1-9 motors to vibrate at the same, sometimes 5 in a sequence.
The speed or direction isn't really a concern as it's just for the vibration. As I said I'm new to microcontrollers so was probably going to get an ATmega2560 compatible with Arduino.. so the first question is do I need to find driver circuits for the motors or can I run them direct from the board?
If I need driver circuits, what would someone recommend in this case? If I don't need driver circuits, are a diode and resistor still needed?
Any suggestions would be great.
