Development board Digilent Cerebot MC7
The Cerebot MC7 board is microcontroller development board based on a Microchip dsPIC 16-bit Digital Signal Controller.
Detailed Description
The Cerebot MC7 is primarily intended to be used as a controller for electro-mechanical devices such as DC motors.
The microcontroller used, a dsPIC33FJ128MC706A, is a member of a dsPIC family optimized for motor control applications.
The Cerebot MC7 provides four Half-Bridge circuits that are rated for 24V at up to 5A. Each of these Half Bridge circuits is connected to the dsPIC A/D converter to measure voltage and current for closed loop feedback control. These half bridges can be used to control two brushed DC motors, two bi-polar stepper motors, one brushless DC motor, one uni-polar stepper motor. In addition, the board can be used to implement controllers for switched DC-DC converters.
The Cerebot MC7 works with the Microchip MPLAB® development environment and provides built in programming and debugging support within the MPLAB IDE.
