Hello Everyone,
I have just finished designing and building a tangentially tracking tone arm for LP record players.
The next thing to do is to design the electronic servo that controls the motion of the tone arm.
I am attaching a PDF of a block diagram to show how I intend to accomplish the above.
My questions are:
1) Should this be done with a micro processor and which one?
2) Which development kit should I buy?
3) Should I be proficient in the programming laguage? (I'm not!)
4) Is there a glossary available, of the jargon associated with micro processors, such as FIFO, UART, etc.?
I am familiar with basic electronics even though I have never actually designed any circuits.
At one point during my professional life I designed tape transports for a manufacturer of professional studio tape machines.
That included electronic packaging and taping of printed circuit boards.
I am mentionig all that to show that I am not a stranger to the industry.
I am hoping that this post is the beginning of a series of helpful information so that I may finish my project.
Sincerely,
Ralf

1) Should this be done with a micro processor and which one?
Yes, looks like a PSOC 4 would be appropriate. If you need com with
a PC then PSOC 5 for USB.
2) Which development kit should I buy?
CY8CKIT-001 or CY8CKIT-042
3) Should I be proficient in the programming laguage? (I'm not!)
C certainly a basic level of understanding.
4) Is there a glossary available, of the jargon associated with micro processors, such as FIFO, UART, etc.?
The web has many, google "web glossary hi tech".
Below a number of projects already done with motor drive.
Regards, Dana.

Thank you very much Dana,

Does a lower PSoC number mean an older design, likely to become obsolete soon?
Would the CY8CKIT-050 be ok to use?
Sincerely,
Ralf

The numbering has nothing to do with obsoleting a PSoC family
PSoC1: No new family members will be created
PSoC3: Core is a 8051 which looks old, so customers will decide
PSoC4: Newest design, core is an ARM M0, new members are anounces and come frequently
PSoC5: Most performant family so far, Core is an ARM M3
The prices for the development kits and prototyping boards are very low. So you have the choice to design on a $100 development kit and later using a $10 prototyping board for the PSoC5 family. The same constellation for a PSoC4 is a $25 Pioneer kit and a $4 Prototyping board. So why not spend the money to get hands on all of these.
Start with the CY8C-050, the CY8C-059 will come out within two weeks, the Pioneer Kit will ship soon as a modified -M version, so buy them when they are on the market.
