Motor circuit

Stepper motor controllers have full/half
step mode for different accuracy, as well
as a range of varying currents for different
speeds.
 Software control can converge smoothly
on a target based on how many steps
away.
 Motors very noisy, inductors have huge
voltage spikes when switching current.
 Steppers will be on a different power
circuit than microcontroller.

Stepper Motor Specifications
Limited by switching speeds of
hardware controllers
 Can sweep 30 degrees / step in full
step mode,15 degrees / step in half
step mode.
 Travel full field of view ~1 second.
 Torque curve sufficient for turret.

Digital Signal Processor:
Analog Blackfin or Tigershark DSP
 Motorola 56307 – used in DSP lab
 PC104 Pentium processor

PIC microcontroller

Pros:
– Very easy to use.

Cons:
– Everything done for us already.

MC68HC11 Specifications:

8-channel A/D converter (may use external
chip)
 Asynchronous serial communications
interface (SCI)
 Separate synchronous serial peripherals
interface (SPI)
 2 8-bit accumulators (A & B), which can
act as a single 16-bit accumulator (D)
10
Specifications continued:
3 input capture lines, 5 output
capture lines
 2 16 bit index registers
 1 stack pointer

Microcontroller Board
12
Memory:
Can address 64K memory.
 Possibly have 32k EPROM, 32k
SRAM

13
Expanded Mode:
Onboard memory will not be used.
 Expanded mode will be enabled so
HC11 reads from external memory.

14
FPGA
Xilinx Spartan FPGA XC4005E
 Primary Function: Decode address
for Memory Mapping

15
Optional use of FPGA:
Stepper motor controls
 Nintendo controller logic
 Interrupt servicing

16
On Board Demonstrations:
The controller will have a control
mode that can be enabled to put the
laser into demo mode.
 3 separate preprogrammed paths:
Circle, Square, and Infinity.

Accuracy:

Bipolar stepper motors
• 3.8 degree and 1.9 degree Industry Standard

H-Bridge controller required
• Half step implementation realization
19
H-Bridge Controllers

1 pin Step control
• Pulse width for full or half step

2 pin Phase control
• Direction of motor

2 pin Current control
• Handles up to 1.5 amps
• Only need 0.5 to 0.75 amps
20
Positioning

Manual control for calibration
• Uses NES game pad

Memory for position reference
• Non volatile memory too slow

Shaft encoders just too inaccurate
