Book description:

Program PIC microcontrollers to drive small motors

Get your motors running in no time using this easy-to-follow guide. Detailed circuit diagrams and hands-on tutorials show you, step by step, how to program PIC microcontrollers to power a wide variety of small motors. You'll learn how to configure all the hardware and software components and test, troubleshoot, and debug your work. Running Small Motors with PIC Microcontrollers is filled with more than 2,000 lines of PicBasic Pro code you can use right away.

Use PIC microcontrollers to control all kinds of small motors, including:

  • Model aircraft R/C servos

  • Small DC motors

  • Servo DC motors with quadrature encoders

  • Bipolar stepper motors

  • Small AC motors, solenoids, and relays
