7 Pulse Width Modulation (PWM): A Quick Refresher

8 WHAT IS PULSE WIDTH MODULATION? Afrotechmods [source:

9 ARDUINO: ANALOG OUT The Arduino UNO has 14 digital pins that can be used either as input or output (using the pinmode, digitalwrite, and digitalread functions). The pins operate at 5 volts. Each pin can provide or receive a maximum of 40mA and has an internal pull-up resistor, which is disconnected by default, of 20-50kOhms. 14 digital I/O pins: these pins can be used for either input or output (set the mode using the pinmode function). Some pins have special functions. For example, pins with the ~ symbol can be used to simulate analog output using pulse-width modulation (PWM). Other special functions are marked on this slide. Six of the Digital I/O pins can be configured for analog out (pins 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, & 11 on the Uno): Any pin with a ~ prefix can simulate analog output using 8-bit PWM with the analogwrite() function [sources:

10 ARDUINO ANALOGWRITE USES PULSE WIDTH MODULATION (PWM) The Arduino simulates analog output using PWM, which is very useful for controlling motors! Assume we are controlling analog pin 3. analogwrite(3, 13) 5% duty cycle Mean output: ~0.25V analogwrite(3, 128) 50% duty cycle Mean output: ~2.5V analogwrite(3, 225) 90% duty cycle Mean output: ~4.5V Approximately approximately every 1/490 of a second (490Hz), the Arduino generates a PWM pulse. The length of this pulse is controlled by the analogwrite function. So, analogwrite(0) will not produce a pulse, analogwrite(128) creates a pulse that lasts half of the cycle, and analogwrite(255) creates a pulse that lasts all the way until the next pulse (i.e., the output is on all the time) [sources:

11 In-Class Exercises

12 IN-CLASS EXERCISES Today, we are going to walk through multiple motor exercises in class to familiarize ourselves with different types of motors and motor driver circuitry (e.g., H-Bridges and motor shields). Servo Motors Servo motors use PWM for precise control of angular position, velocity, and acceleration. Servo s also contain additional sensor circuity to sense position. DC Motors and H-Bridges Learn about the simplest type of motor the DC hobby motor and how to use an H- Bridge to control the motor s direction. Stepper Motors Stepper motors divide a motor s full rotation into steps the motors position can be precisely controlled with these steps (assuming the maximum load is not exceeded). Unlike servor motors, typical steppers do not have built-in position feedback circuitry. [sources:

13 Motor Drivers

14 ADAFRUIT EXERCISES USE A L293D H-BRIDGE, WHICH IS EQUIVALENT TO THE SN [source:

15 SPARKFUN EASYDRIVER: STEPPER MOTOR DRIVER

16 ARDUINO MOTOR SHIELDS Because many motors have high current requirements (higher than individual ports can support on the arduino) and can cause problems with voltage spikes when a motor turns on and off, motor shields have become popular, easy-to-use boards for working with motors. Adafruit Motor Shield v2: $19.95 Drives up to 4 DC motors or 2 stepper motors using transistor-based drivers with 1.2A per channel and 3A peak current and a fully dedicated PWM driver chip Sparkfun Ardumoto Motor Shield: $24.95 Uses a L298 H-Bridge IC to control two DC motors up to 2A per channel

20 At first glance, it may seem like the same long wires go from the Arduino to the LEDs

21 It s actually two sets of wires connected through a special device called a slip ring These wires rotate freely

The motor s position can be commanded to move and hold at any of these steps without a feedback sensor. The thumbnails below are clickable.
