> Digital Logic
Microcontrollers operate in a binary world. Digital outputs only recognize two states: HIGH (3.3V/5V) and LOW (0V). In my project, this logic handles driver enabling and status signaling.
> PWM & DC Motors
To regulate DC Motor speed, we use Pulse Width Modulation. By rapidly switching the signal, the Duty Cycle defines the average power: higher percentage equals higher RPM.

[ MISSION: BRUSHLESS MOTOR CONTROL ]
Components Diagram
To control a motor, I wanted to make a compact and as simple a module as possible, so I simply used a TB67H45 driver and pins for the INs, OUTs and power supply.
PCB Implementation
For the design of this board, I decided to use the logo of one of my favorite superheroes, Batman. As you can see in the PCB document, I used the GND under the driver to better dissipate heat.
Milling and cutting
To cut my PCB transformer, I used my files using the same method I explained in week 8 with a MONOFAB.
Wiring
The image shows the function of each pin on my board; it's a simple and very efficient system to use.
