Mimot - Mini Motor control
Status: Successfully used since Eurobot 2010.
This board is able to control two motors and including the power stage.
Its main features are:
- control up to 2 motors,
- differential drive and trajectory control,
- position PID control,
- acceleration limited speed,
- blocking detection,
- consign change at any time,
- serial and i2c interface,
- decode incremental encoder signals,
- integrated power stage, 9 V to 28 V @ 5 A,
- current measure by the microcontroler,
- simulated motor models,
- extra unused connections.
It is based on an AVR ATmega32 microcontroller, together with a XC9536 CPLD used to decode encoder signals. Power output is provided by two MC33887 integrated bridges.
