Hi there, I have been assigned to this new project recently and I am completely lost. I know little about PIC; therefore I hope some people can help me out.
The aim of my project is :To be able to drive a potentiometer over a specified range of attenuation ratio using a stepper motor
• Input: Up/down momentary action pushbuttons to control movement of the potentiometer. Also a sensor must be provided to detect the ‘home’ position of the potentiometer.
• Output: Hybrid 200-step stepper motor whose coil phasing must be controlled by the PIC.
I am researched little on the stepper motor and some notes on the PIC16F873. I think I will divide the project timeline into 2 sections. One on Software and the other on Hardware. I have 10 weeks to do this project. Hopefully there is enough time. Other than that Im not sure where to go.
Sorry, I am a total newbie in this and I do need some guidelines/help on this project. Please give me some ideas.
Thanks a lot!
