7.4.3 Operation of the GO Bit

The GO bit is the primary way to assert the GO signal, which fires processes in the DRV2605L-Q1 device. The primary purpose of the GO bit is to fire the playback of the waveform identifiers in the waveform sequencer (registers 0x04 to 0x0B). However, The GO bit can also fire the calibration or diagnostics processes.

When using the GO bit to play waveforms in internal trigger mode, the GO bit is asserted by writing 0x01 to register 0x0C. In this case, the GO bit can be thought of as a software trigger for haptic waveforms. The GO bit remains high until the playback of the haptic waveform sequence is complete. Clearing the GO bit during waveform playback cancels the waveform sequence. The GO bit can also be asserted by the external trigger when in external trigger mode. The GO bit in register 0x0C mirrors the state of the external trigger.

Setting RTP mode , PWM mode, or audio-to-vibe mode also sets the GO bit. However, setting the GO bit in this way has no impact on the GO bit located in register 0x0C.
