Hi i'm working on a photovore and I'm using a pic18f4550 as the microcontroller.
I'm using the Motor Driver 1A Dual TB6612FNG - SparkFun Electronics
motor driver Motor Driver 1A Dual TB6612FNG
I find that on debug mode When I implement a reverse on full speed the debug mode stops.
I have a theory it's the interferance from the motors.
Is this is problem?
I've soldered 3 caps on each motor and thats the only protection I've done.
Any other suggestions for protection from interference problem?
I've heard of that twisting the motor wires help.
I've also heard something about isolating powersources.
I'm just testing the wheels in the air.
It's not touching the ground, perhaps when i test it on the ground it will be better.
I'm currently operating at i think 3khz for the frequency of the pwm to the motor driver.
Would the frequency affect it?
Also whats the turn MCLR VDD or MCLR VIL on programming mode ?
What does it do?
