DC PWM motor control

[Astrom27 3]

HI

I wanted to share the project i am working on, it is for a small dc motor pwm controller.

I have got it working and it works pretty good. It does not use the pwm of the timer control,

but a separate ratio type control in the main function. It Uses the grace gui so i dont know if i have to

attach at the files or not if that is needed ,but here is the main part of the code that should contain enough

to work off of. Idont have the schematic right now ill work on one soon, it just uses a 3904 transistor for the

motor to have enough current, and some resistors for the bias. It uses p1.1 , p1.3 with external buttons for the

input speed change. They are tied to ground at the button and use the pull down resistors on the msp, they connect

to vcc on the button pushes to pull them high and cause the interrupt to change the speed.The TA timer is used for

button de-bounce.

 

I can include the other grace files if they are wanted..

Thanks for sharing astrom27. Make sure you add this to the Project of the Month Contest. A pic of your setup will also be nice.

I made a quick paint schematic for it..

 

i caught a mistake .. 3904 transistor is the actual number , sorry.

What motor are you driving with this?

[Astrom27 3]

It is a 3v small toy motor that is common in most toys. I found a google img that is like it. Ill

try to get my camera to work and try to make a little video.

 

Im sure you could drive a larger motor if you had a motor driver for it and use the msp for the input signal. But the

3v one is good to use as it has the same voltage as the msp.

 

I just saw the small mistake on the circuit too... its a 3904 small sig trans. not a 3940......and caught a small

mistake on the code at the jump start . duh should be motor on not off.... something got mangled.* see code i fixed

it.
