INAV 7.1.2 The problem of connecting the brush motor and the driver to it

[serayaGirya]

Hi, everybody
I have a brush motor and a driver for it - TB6612FNG
Connected all the components correctly
The fact is that the INAV Configurator does not see any changes on the Throttle signal, the engine does not rotate.
I indicated in the configurator that I use BRUSHED
I assume that the problem is with the driver, which does not even send PWM to the outputs. TB6612 is serviceable
Can you tell me how to fix it?

It sounds like the motor may not be armed.
You can read about arming in the documentation.

Reasons that arming is blocked are shown on the OSD, across the top of Configurator as colored icons, along the right side, also in the status bar at the bottom. And in the "status" output. So pretty much anywhere you look, it'll show you why you can't arm. My favorite place to look is in the status bar, at the bottom right of Configurator.

Yes, it says ARMING_DISABLED_NAVIGATION_UNSAFE
It also shows ARMING_DISABLED_THROTTLE if I increase the throttle even a little.
With the first flag, everything is clear - I'm still setting up my system indoors.
And what could be wrong with the second one?

I was able to get the motor to start from Outputs, but I still can't turn on the motor from the remote.

You can't arm the motor WHILE you're throttled up because that would cause the vehicle to immediately go off. You arm, THEN add throttle.

In general, what is the final answer?
If you're using junk, like me, then here's a solution.
The TB6612FNG is connected with one half-bridge to 5 V, the other to GND, and the STBY is also connected to 5 V, so your microcircuit will always be ready to turn on the motor.
The problem really lay in the fact that it was necessary to test the system outdoors so that there would be a normal connection with GPS satellites. Turn on ARM mode, and you're done: Your boat/drone will work smoothly.
