TIPhoon Booster Pack

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DRV8800

TIPhoon booster pack is a an addon to the MSP430 Launchpad. This booster pack provides full flexibility to control 2 types of motors namely the the DC motor and Servo motor. It employs TI's own DRV8800 Motor Controller which caters to all the requirements of a Brushed DC Motor. The Servo Motor is simply controlled by Pulse Width Modulation on a GPIO. The motors can be controlled by using an interactive GUI (designed in MATLAB) which interacts with MSP430 by following the UART protocol. It lets you independently choose the speed, direction and the precise angle through which you want to turn the motors. Not only that, there is also an option of interfacing up to 3 analog sensors with the MSP430 Launchpad. This feature enables the creation of a complete feedback system using Hall Effect sensors or Shaft Encoders or any other feedback control system which in turn makes motor control highly accurate.
