Robot Engineering Requirements: Controlling Motion
Well, you have finally made it to the good stuff. In this chapter, we will be discussing motor control, a very important part of robotic design that will be used throughout this book. Motor control allows us to give a robot life, but we will not simply be pushing a button to control out robot. Instead, per a hypothetical customer's request, we will be controlling the motor speed and direction through serial communication.
We can accomplish this using an H-bridge and a hex inverter. The H-bridge will be used to drive two motors and the hex inverter will be used to convert a signal from 0 to 1 (1 to 0). The company wants each of the comma-separated parameters to go to these specific ...
