☆ Step number five-select the motor controller. Types and characteristics of controllers. How to choose motor controllers for your robot. and in past videos, we chose the robot design, motors and controller for the robot, it's time to get everything moving.
The first question that many beginners ask when creating their first robot is "how can I control motors?"After a little research on the expression "engine controller", a lot of questions appeared.
What is an engine controller and why do I need it?
A motor controller is an electronic device (usually a circuit Board without a case) that serves as an intermediate device between a microcontroller, a power supply, or batteries, and motors.
Although the microcontroller sets the speed and direction of the motors, it cannot control them directly due to its very limited power (current and voltage). On the other hand, the motor controller can provide current at the required voltage, but cannot decide how fast the motor should rotate.
So the microcontroller and the motor controller must work together to make the motors move the way we need them to. Usually, the microcontroller can send a command to the motor controller about how to power the motors using a standard and simple communication method, such as UART or uapp - a universal asynchronous transceiver.
This is one of the oldest and most common data transfer protocols. Or PWM-pulse width modulation-PWM. In addition, some motor controllers can be controlled manually by analog voltage, usually generated by a potentiometer.
