Hi, I am building a power feed system for a machine in my home workshop. I have a large stepper motor (7.8A) and its proper commercial driver but to control the functions I need a few basic inputs and a variable trigger pulse to feed to the driver.
I am fairly new to PICs and not sure of the way forward for the pulse thing. I have sorted out enable and direction signals OK.
What would be the best route to try with the picaxe programming? I have an ordinary 18 chip at present and wonder if I need an 18x with PWM and use that feature?
Any suggestions gratefully received!
Regards
Les
