FPGA DC Motor Control

Data & Observations
           After adding the motor controller IC and connecting everything up, you're probably hungry to see the system in action. Below is a video of me testing the system out. First by testing direction control and then speed control.


           That video should be proof enough that the system works and that we have terrific control over the motor. The example motor I used had a wheel attached to give you robotics ideas. If you watch the LEDs closely, you can see they fade in and out depending on the current direction and speed. At the 50%[on]/50%[off] point the LEDs are fully lit and the motor is stopped.
