Motor Control Software Examples |
| |
Small motors, less than 300 W, are found in a variety of applications. The purpose of this Application Note is to provide software examples that are relatively simple, but demonstrate effective solutions for the various motor types. These software examples may be used as a starting point for the development of more complex motor drive systems. |

Stepper Motor Reference Design |
| |
Stepper motors, used in a variety of applications, are often controlled using special function ICs that provide limited functionality. In embedded systems, it is easier to use a small MCU to control the motor. This Reference Design demonstrates a high performance stepper motor system and provides for both stand-alone operation and UART control. |
