Hello,
I have used the following example program provided with the PSoC Pioneer Kit and the CY8CKIT-037 PSoC4 Motor Control Evaluation Kit to rotate a Stepper Motor in both CW and CCW directions. I intend to use this to introduce the basic principles of Stepper Motor Control in an educational setting. Therefore, I would like to have some inputs on how this program can be modified from Microstep to simple FULL STEP. I would like to retain the provision for Start/Run and speed control which is currently available using the SW2 and the Potentiometer ( Variable resistor R38). Appreciate help from the Cypress community.
Jobi,
Thanks for your reply. I had gone through the 5.7.2 Stepper Motor Control Code Example Overview and am able to follow the program flow. When you write " it is not directly documented or have an option in PSoC Creator project to change the stepping" - are you saying that it is not possible to modify the program from microstepping to full-step?
Shouldn't it be possible to generate two PWM signals having the same frequency - but delayed phase to turn on the MOSFETs Q1 - Q8 in the appropriate sequence to activate the two windings of the stepper motor ( please see second figure below)
I am also not very clear about the need for the two LUTs as shown below. I would like to modify the example code to generate the PWM signals as shown in the second figure. I would like to retain the feature whereby we can adjust the speed of the motor with the variable resistor - should be possible by changing the frequency of the PWM. Thanks once again for your inputs.
I
