I have a few questions regarding a motor control design I am trying to accomplish. Elements of the design have been 'scooped' from various places, ie. the h-bridge design I basically copied from an old radio-shack RC truck I had kicking around which had similar power specs to what I am trying to do now.
The posted schematic in PDF format is not complete due to the feedback circuit is not included. or that portion the basic approach I want to try splits from the transistors outputs to motor, each signal runs through a resisitor and then into an op-amp (lm358?), and onto the ADC in the PIC I am using to control the lot.
The final project is a RC platform re-designed, I'm using the posted H-bridge for the main motor and a smaller transistor h-bridge for the steering as well. I want to try the lm358 so I can use half for the motor feedback and the other half for the steering feedback? Any flaws with this basic idea?
I am also curious as to the method of control implemented originally in this design (h-bridge posted), I have a feeling that it was not PWM'd, so am wondering if I am going to run into issues when I try to use PWM for driving this H-bridge?
Any tips or hackling is welcomed, thanks in advance, jd
