What type of microncontroller can I use for motor control?

what type of microncontroller can i use by applying it to a motor control?

 

[firmware]

microcontroller

Which type of the motor ? DC or AC ? Many control methods are using PWM function, so u can find many MCU that provide the PWM function such AVR, PIC, etc... if you just control the rotate direction of motor every type of MCU can do.

Check out Microchip Motor application notes.
They have Pic chips optimized for motor control plus application circuits and sample code.

Re: microcontroller

u can use pic 16f84 with stepper motor or usin g relay to interfaceac motor

Re: microcontroller

I think dsPic should be an alternative choice to do motor control.
You can look about them at https://www.microchip.com.

Best one is renesas microcontroller R8C tiny series.

hi cai2
i prefer to control a motor(dc motor)with L298 and ATMEGA16L,and its very simple,i did it for my robot,if you have question on it ,i will help you if i could.

Re: microcontroller

but i don't have a programmer for that controller. Is it okay if used an ATMEL89C2051/4051 microncontroller?

Re: microcontroller

Now a days almost every microcontroller supports all types of motor control HW.
The DC and stepper motor can be controlled by simple PWM. This can achieved by changing the toggling period of any uC pin. But to control the AC induction motor, a special HW is needed for generating 3 phase sinusoidal PWM. This HW is also available almost on all families of uC.
So selection of uC is depends upon the tools available and price of MCU only.

Re: microcontroller

hi

for this purpose if you use a AVR then it will be better as it is a powerful controller. you can use ATMEL's any AVR and the programmer are available in market. it is easy to use.
