Cerebot MC7 Motor Control Board
The Cerebot MC7 is primarily intended to be used as a controller for electro-mechanical devices such as DC motors. The microcontroller used, a dsPIC33FJ128MC706A, is a member of a dsPIC family optimized for motor control applications. The Cerebot MC7 provides four half-bridge circuits that are rated for 24V at up to 5A. Each of these half-bridge circuits is connected to the dsPIC A/D converter to measure voltage and current for closed loop feedback control. These half-bridges can be used to control two brushed DC motors, two bi-polar stepper motors, one brushless DC (BLDC) motor or one uni-polar stepper motor. In addition, the board can be used to implement controllers for switched DC-DC converters. The Cerebot MC7 works with the Microchip MPLAB development environment and provides built in programming and debugging support within the MPLAB IDE.
