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

2006-08-28 by katraven1

wow.. thx for the readings =)

after that I've done some more research into this area and some more 
n00bie questions arose:
- jst want to confirm: it is possible to directly connect the mega32 
to the L6203s to drive the motors right? *looks nervous.. what we 
have atm is the bidirectional DC motor control circuit suggested in 
the datasheet for the L6203, replacing the L6506 with the mega32..

- how does one know if the motor can be driven using lock-antiphase 
or not? there doesn't seem to be anything mentioned in the 
datasheets...

thx guys for your help
