For mechanical systems, the smoothing element of the system is often the inertia of the system – meaning how quickly the system reacts to a change in input. This is covered in our Buck and Boost Converter articles using the concepts of a Flywheel / Merry-Go-Round. Imagine we added a wa...
It is much more efficient due to the use of MOSFETs. The MD10C has a very low voltage drop, meaning that most of the energy is sent to the motor coils. The L298N, on the other hand, drops 1.4 volts. Because of its efficiency, the Cytron MD10C does not require a heatsink. The L...
This will search /dev/i2c-1 for all address, and if an Adafruit PWM/Servo HAT is properly connected and it's set to its default address -- meaning none of the 6 address solder jumpers at the top of the board have been soldered shut -- it should show up at 0x40 (binary 1000000)...
A value of 1 would indicate that 100% of the time is spent in the PalatisSoftPWM ISR, meaning that no clock cycles are left to execute any other code. Clock cycles per interrupt - The number of clock cycles required to run the PalatisSoftPWM ISR. Interrupt frequency - The frequency ...
It is usually not too difficult to answer this question, because the central element in a standard PWM hardware block is an N-bit counter that controls the width of the pulse, meaning that the equivalent DAC resolution is 2N. For example, the datasheet for Atmel’s SAM4S microcontroller ...
Input and output mounting pads/holes are all doubled, meaning it should be easy to hook them up in various ways. A standard USB plug fits juuust barely to the Vin pins if you extract the data pins. As there’s no mechanical support, I wouldn’t recommend doing that as a p...
Well, here is my latest suggestion (right, modelled in LTspice, but not yet tested IRL): It is feedback-based, and forms a PWM-locked-loop. Rail-to-rail op-amp U2 is wired as an oscillator that generates, for the purposes of this circuit, a sawtooth wa...
Event n2 gets always executed, meaning that the counter timeouts. The error must therefore be in the edge detection events, although I can't quite find it. Any possible advice or suggestion? 0 Kudos Reply 06-15-2016 10:04 AM 3,862 Views lpcware NXP Employee Content originally pos...
