RE: [QUARANTINE] [AVR-Chat] Re: PWM for reversible DC motors

2006-08-27 by Larry Barello

Check out www.barello.net/Papers/Motion_Control

I find that using the ENABLE input gives less control over the motors.
After you have puzzled through the paper, above, then look at

www.barello.net/Papers/H-bridge.pdf

The hand drawn graphs in that paper were taken directly from an oscilloscope
screen.


Cheers!

| thx for that help =)
| 
| *feeling very n00b...
| 
| jst wanna confirm:
| we're using an L6203 for each H-bridge, which has 1 enable and 2
| inputs. Am i right to say that the two inputs change the direction
| of the motor?
| as in, if i put the PWM into input1, it'll go one way and vice versa
| if i put it into input2? I can't seem to find a good ref which has
| this explained clearly...
| 
| and, if this is the case.. how could I configure the other ports to
| change the direction?
