Other Parts Discussed in Thread: HALCOGEN
Hello all!
As I am newbie to TI controllers, I wanted to grasp on how to use them and Halcogen software to do what I want. So I went learning about it like I have learned Arduino. I've started doing basic stuff, like triggering LEDs on the board and similar.
Today, I want to learn: how can I drive motors using the PWM on Hercules board.
I've noticed that there are some extensions out there that you can buy, but I do not have does.
What I want to do is, using those cheap and small Arduino components, servo motor, BDC and stepper, to make them spin.
I am not even sure which periphery on TI controllers should I use. Is it NHET?
The first one I wanted to connect to board is servo motor since I do not need any additional drivers. I understand that I should place one line on 5V and another on GND, but where do I place the third wire? Can you help me out? How do you do this via Halcogen and later with code? I couldn't find any of the tutorials out there and there is no one to teach me how to do this. I am trying to learn TI controllers on my own.
Later, I want to try and drive stepper motor. I also have some Arduino kit driver that goes with it. How would I drive stepper motor?
In the end, I would like to try and drive the BDC motor.
The truth is, I understand how to do this, but not using TI. So far, I have never used controller that requires graphical tool (Halcogen) to manipulate the controller, so I am completely lost. Also, periphery names are a bit confusing to me, lol. :D
Are there some tutorials that completely cover how to use Halcogen and work with Hercules family controllers? I found out some official TI videos on YouTube but they do not cover much topic, at all.
Thanks!
